[MLB-WIRELESS] 2.4GHz scanner project

[Jason Hecker]

Ooo, I wouldn't be so sure about detecting dangerous levels of radiation, even 
with some sort of attenuator.  The antenna on the module could be 
disconnected and replaced with an SMA type connector, though you'd have to 
perhaps add a little matching circuit.

Have a look at this design:

It works on the same principle as my project but uses a better chip.  It 
mentions something about baluns (matching circuits).
