Nope, you're not doing anything wrong.
That's just a combination of:
A common topic here is how to reduce that noise. Usually getting ferrite beads and clipping them around various cables will help reduce noise, but it's just a common thing.
Eventually you get really good at seeing what's a likely signal and what's just noise.
A hackrf one can do 2.4 GHz and directional antennas are easily found online. You would also need an adaptor like this one
Then you could use a laptop running GQRX or SDR Sharp to show you the signal strength of 2.4 GHz signals in the direction of the antenna. Turn off your phone WiFi and laptop WiFi.
See if you can find any ham radio operators in your area, they often know how to find a transmitting beacon (it’s called a fox hunt).
yes. Range is listed as starting at 24 MHz.
