If someone claims to be “hacker q200” and is threatening you, remember:

The "mythical" Q200 is said to include:

The reality check: No FCC ID exists for a "Hacker Q200." No datasheet is archived on DigiKey or Mouser. If you search AliExpress or eBay for "Hacker Q200," you will likely find one of two things: a dead listing or a generic "HackRF One" clone mislabeled by a seller. hacker q200
