Interesting... I personally have not seen this. Thank you for the pointer. I=
t looks like custom hardware running custom firmware. This should be able to=
 give full access to baseband. Still kinda pricey. Ubertooth one hardware se=
lls for $120 at sparkfun. That's 3x price of raspberry pi 2/3 :) for a fract=
ion of general usability :) could make an relatively inexpensive Bluetooth s=
canner though.=20

Thanks !
