what do people actually use them to do?

I've used it around the house to make copies of the light switches (they are small battery operated radios.)

I've also used it to clone my car fab as a backup.

I've found out what my neighbors are doing that is radio controlled. Some times I just scan for packets and try and decrypt them.

I've used it to get the full metadata on my pets RFID tags. I now have full records for all my pets.

I've used it in a gimmicky way to get my credit card information, and I've considered using it for payment, but havent' tried yet.

Honestly, its a great tool to have. Its a swiss army knife for radio signals. I'm mostly concerned with leveling up my dolphin though.

does that work? I thought modern cars used a challenge/response or rolling key system.

Probably not, and it can actually cause issues with some cars and make the original fob not work anymore

hey that is actually pretty cool.

if it weren't for the price, I'd probably pick one up.

I'm surprised they haven't been cloned and sold for much less.

I mean, the build quality is there. It feels great in the hands. Is the price a lot? I mean, its quite a tool for what it is.
