If consumer-level RF meters were sabotaged to ignore specific bands, expensive professional-level SDRs would be less likely to have the same blind spots, if only because they are used in a wide range of applications by professionals who also have reference equipment for calibration of questionable meters.

If consumer-level RF meters were sabotaged to ignore specific bands, professional-level SDRs could be used to identify those bands. That may be faster and less work than detecting any hypothetical implants, and would itself be a significant discovery of interest to the global engineering community.
