Has anyone run WiGLE inside the windows 11 android subsystem?

I think the subsystem is hiding the wifi SSIDs. Can't see anything. Or do I need to tweak settings in Windows for this to work?

you can check scanning permissions in the Android settings, but it's very likely that since you're running inside a virtualized container, windows doesn't provide access to the WiFi radio(s) directly - this could interfere with Window's use of WiFi adapters and would require complicated translation layers.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for responding.
