While most people don't "play" with the ISP's equipment, as I mentioned, my
WISP (who gives me my Internet for forever free since I often work for him
by helping neighbors with their WISP connections) gives me the
login/password to all the neighbors' radios, so I can run neat stuff on
their rooftop radios just as this spectrum analysis built into Ubiquiti
transceivers.
Most people probably don't have access to the ISP's equipment like I do,
but I love *learning* how things work, so that I can run site surveys such
as this one which looks at the Android phone emissions using adb & my PC.
I can log into any neighbors' rooftop transceiver and run a site survey.
I'm sure I can do more than that, but I have no interest in spying on my
neighbors, and, in fact, I do all that I can to not throw them under the
bus (which is partially the topic of this thread, after all, is it not).
Just to add value, there are many tools on Android which show Wi-Fi &
cellular data where it's good to run a site survey every once in a while.
