"legitimate homebrew" There's no agreement on what that means in the sense that there's at least one (very old) cultural group that sees it as buying a small pile of generic components and soldering them together by hand on a workbench into a working system of ones own custom design, and a somewhat more recent interpretation that it means buying a commercial product marketed for one group, then because its technologically possible sometimes, using that commercial product for a different marketing group without the support of the manufacturer. Needless to say both sides can't communicate, not even having common terms to discuss. And throw in the FCC which has extensive regulatory support only for the first definition for many decades and has generally opposed the latter definition, its absolute chaos.
