I run all the spectrum analysis I want, for free, using my own router's AP.

Note that these look at _everything_ within the selected Wi-Fi spectrum.

All for free (if you already have the device used as your router's AP).

This particular device appears to scan the _entire_ spectrum.

This particular device appears to scan the _entire_ spectrum.

Once in a while, particularly when you're not defending the lack of basic
functionality on iOS to the death, you say what is actually correct.

This particular device appears to scan the _entire_ spectrum, where I get
that exact same functionality (and more) for free with my router's AP.

that's a separate piece of hardware, which is not free.

but at least you admit that android can't do what you falsely claimed
it could.

In your desperation to excuse the fact that iOS is the _only_ platform that
has zero wifi graphical debugging tools, you're now fabricating that I said
that Android has a full spectrum analysis (which I never even once said).

*You're so desperate, that this is essentially your "ftfy" attempt.*

It means you're almost at the end of your methods to excuse that you hate
iOS not having any of the basic functionality all other platforms have.

We see nospam following the predictable path in increasing desperation...

1. First claim the imaginary functionality exists on the Apple App Store.
2. When that fails, say everyone else made Apple remove the functionality.
3. When that fails, say it's not Apple's fault - it's the developers' fault.
4. When that fails, say you should write all the app functionality yourself.
5. When that fails, accuse everyone telling the truth of being stupid.
6. What's coming up is the classic "ftfy" kindergarten rant from nospam.

All this because nospam _hates_ iOS doesn't have even basic functionality.
