The channels overlap, higher data rate transmissions use spectrum spanning several channels, and many stations transmit on the same frequency, so with a plain received you will hear a cacophony of sounds, making it almost impossible to find the station you're looking for. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">You will get much better results using a good wifi card with SMA connector (Alfa cards are great for 2.4G band) with a directional external antenna and airmon-ng from Aircrack-ng package to monitor signal strength for the station you are interested in.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Don't buy those cheap 2.4G yagis from ebay or amazon.
