Are there any bands in the US that are open for free use? A sort of Wild West band. The tech seems very cool to experiment with, but I don’t want to end up in this guys shoes for trying to wirelessly control my coffee pot (for instance…).
- strombofulous 5y agoKind of, there are unlicensed radio bands but there are still rules about what you can't do on them. 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz
- josephcsible 5y agoIn particular, you're still not allowed to jam them. You're not allowed to jam any frequency, ever.
- jakear 5y agoAh, walkie talkie and wifi, of course! :) I suppose a good starting point would be to just buy some commercially available walkie talkies and see what sorts of modulation is possible. Cheers!
- hinkley 5y agoI'm having one of those false memory experiences. I 'know' that the 1.2GHz band was used for earlier WiFi specs and yet Wikipedia disagrees. In fact this is allocated to Ham radio and that has rules (poorly enforced due to budget constraints) up the wazoo.
