    I bought one of the hotspots and look forward to what I find after flashing it.

      Same here. I really hope I find nothing, but I also hope I find something.

      I looked and it seems there are only Verizon-specific hotspots. Is that what we’re supposed to get?

        Should matter since you’re running different firmware it sounds like.

        I assume the eff’s link was both specific and intentional. Mine showed up yesterday and installing the thing was very easy. Looks to work.

    Hard to get in EU. If anyone knows a way to get one in EU (no Amazon), let me know. The issue is the shipping cost.

      And perhaps different wavelengths?

        Could you elaborate on this please?

      Reshipper possibly. Still expensive to ship though.

    I’ve got this running. Haven’t caught any Stingrays yet but I also haven’t been into town yet.

    Does this detect only Verizon bands or does it work for AT&T/T-Mobile towers too? I’m tempted to get this just out of curiosity but if it’s only Verizon bands it’s not really useful to me unless the fake towers attach to any device regardless of carrier.

    I’ve set up a community specifically for release updates from the Rayhunter Github at !Rayhunter@lemm.ee if anyone is interested
