@dangoodin easy as buying something and navigating a menu

@ghostsarespooky

Please say more. What does one buy? How easy is it for people with only intermediate tech skills to do? Are there any tutorials explaining all of this?

@dangoodin @ghostsarespooky This is a screenshot from a HackRF with PortaPack. TPMS decoding has been a feature since the introduction of PortaPack H1 by Jared Boone in 2014, and he gave some talks about TPMS at hacker cons around that time.
@mossmann @dangoodin @ghostsarespooky I'll be walking up and down in the parking lot with my #uConsole, won't I?

@sassdawe @mossmann @dangoodin walking down city streets during rush hour is fun, too.
