Any thoughts on how this could be used as a low cost surveying tool to find sources of WiFi interference?

We've been considering getting one of these: http://www.metageek.net/products/wi-spy/

It would be great to instead have a bit of kit that could be repurposed like HackRF.

You just need something that receives 2.4GHz and can give you signal strength (or calculate an FFT). Spectools [1] is a great tool for this, it already supports Ubertooth and could easily be adapted to work with HackRF.

Caveat: I work on Ubertooth for Michael Ossmann
