I wasn't aware you could be licensed for 2.4 GHz broadcasts. What's the process on that, and what does it allow you to do? (Besides jamming others I guess)

- AnarchismIsCool 3y agoThey're probably talking about having an amateur radio license. You just need to pay $35 and take a test, nothing else is required. The test question bank is open so you can pretty trivially memorize enough of it to pass, though given that the tech license is mostly regulatory, that's equivalent to studying. http://www.arrl.org/getting-licensed http://www.arrl.org/getting-licensed If you do that though, you get a bunch of bands from DC to light where you can argue with old people about gout and the government.
- sidewndr46 3y agoAs others have mentioned I have an amateur radio license. About 50 MHz of our allocation overlaps with the 2.4 GHz band used for WiFi. I think there is some overlap with the 5.x GHz bands as well. You can also petition the FCC for an experimental license provided you have a valid reason. It isn't uncommon to see experimental licenses with allocations like 2 MHz - 60 GHz provided no transmission is 24/7 or unattended.
