Flipper Zero (without extra hardware) doesn't do 2.4 GHz for Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (or 5GHz Wi-Fi). On the other hand, I'd bet for under $10 you could build something with an ESP32 and a battery and solar panel that could spoof sign

I like my HackRFOne, but be aware it's half-duplex, so it can transmit as well as receive - but can only do one of them at a time. For a little more money you can get full duplex SDRs, which opens up a bunch of extra interesting sttuff
