Weird kinda unrelated question but I bet someone in this thread has the answer:
When I was researching the Flipper Zero a year or so ago someone mentioned, "I'm not sure about buying one, it seems like a cool gadget that I'll play with and then end up in a drawer like the [product x]"
I looked up [product x] at the time and it seemed pretty neat. Like a USB or computer card that could get radio and TV signals and some other stuff.
However, I can't find this [product x] again despite scouring bookmarks, reading through reddit/HN topics, etc.
Any ideas?

- boneitis 2y agoThe HackRF usually comes to mind every time I mess around with my Flipper Zero. (Other items I often hear mentioned in the same conversations are the ADALM PLUTO and the pricey USRP line of radios. Or, "rtl2832u" might be a key term that helps you further narrow down a search more aligned with the sibling comment, though the rtl2832u is a cheap, receive-only device.) There are the units branded by Great Scott Gadgets (the company belonging to the guy that designed HackRF). And alternately, chinese clones were obtainable for significantly cheaper. I don't know what the climate looks like these days of getting a hold of these radios.
