That is because the FCC (and most regulatory agencies) is paranoid about just
anybody turning these things up to illegal output values, so it is they who
have put the shroud of secrecy about this stuff, which many of them can do
since the chipsets are not US specific, but largely universal as other places
allow more power output and somewhat different band usage limits & channel
assignments. The fact that this suits Broadcoms business model is just icing
on the cake for their legal staff.

Possibly, provided your sidewalk superintending is just that. As a broadcast
engineer with nearly 60 years of steering electrons in ways to make them do
useful work, I think Michael has a better understanding of what it is that he
is slowly discovering and making work than someone who just walked in the door.
Even with my experience, I wouldn't pretend to think I can tell Micheal or
Larry what to do, so why should you be capable of doing that with maybe a month
of observation?
