I know some wireless devices are dirt cheap, but I already have FREE, things like old wireless routers. I bet lot's of people have old wireless routers/modems.
So you can at least take the chips and try to get them working for your own machinations. Without purpose built multi-layer PCB, is there any point to try putting GHz level chips, on a copper clad board ? Like dead-bug style ? Can you do anything fun like that ?
What about just cutting out the section of PCB for each chip ? Does anyone every do that and get anywhere ? Or remove as much junk as you can, and hope the AC works, if your lucky ?
I have "wireless" AM transmitters circuits (with wires), so it's not about that. I just hate throwing this stuff away. And in any post-apocalypse future movie, all this stuff WOULD get re-used/re-purposed.
