So it can do some low end systems but probably not much beyond getting me into a gym locker room and maybe a parking garage. My problem is RFID is that I don't have access to any systems that use it and I don't work near any so anything I get to play with will be just that, a toy I'd guess, so I think I'll leave it and save my cash for a proper device when I actually need one and have time to use it properly.
