The RadioScope is by no means the fastest or most precise signal analysis tool available--far from it. However, its remote-access and Internet-connected capabilities make it useful and appropriate in many situations where other tools fall short.

The fact that it is accessed via the Internet makes it possible to easily gather data from one or more electronic devices situated anywhere in the world (anywhere with an Internet connection!) into one location. For example, one person using a web browser could manually monitor a number of signals in various locations, and these locations could even be dangerous ones where the person would put himself at risk by entering. Using the RadioScope, an entire nuclear power plant (preferably near a large metripolitan area) could be monitored by one person!

Even greater freedom is allowed by the fact that the RadioScope is connected to the Internet via the Ricochet radio network rather than wires. This allows a person or computer program to monitor electronic signals in a place where it would be impractical to install a wired network, e.g., the top of a building, the top of a mountain, or a buoy perhaps a mile offshore.
