You could have used a SDR for that, which is a fairly interesting piece of kit with - arguably - more wholesome uses than the flipper.

Yeah I guess so. Though it's something I'm not familiar with. And the Flipper was something I had at home already. To be fair until then I couldn't find any use for it.

In my opinion the whole appeal of the Flipper is that it bundles a bunch of radio gadgets and makes them easy to use and accessible. Are there better tools for each job? Definitely! But I presume setting up an SDR would have involved a fair bit more research and work. On the Flipper it took five minutes of trying out the different modes.
