Unfortunately Tomas, neither util knows anything about radio's.  Someone 
just reminded me that iw is now the tool. I've found that /sbin/iw can 
output regulatory info, but the shorthand used is a bit opaque. From my 
one lonesome  wifi equipt rpi4b:
pi@rpi4:~ $ /sbin/iw reg get
global
country US: DFS-FCC
	(2402 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
	(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), AUTO-BW
	(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
	(5490 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS
	(5735 - 5835 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
	(57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)

I have all of mine turned off and everything is wired to prevent the AH 
across the street from using my bandwidth to watch his porn. He had a 
utility on his cell phone capable of hijacking my radios. I hear he is 
back in the hotel for the 2nd time. Life in the neighborhood is much 
improved w/o him.

iw's output seems complete even if there is no radio, which the bpi's 
don't have, but from bpi54:
gene@bpi54:~$ /sbin/iw reg get
global
country 00: DFS-UNSET
	(2402 - 2472 @ 40), (6, 20), (N/A)
	(2457 - 2482 @ 20), (6, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW, PASSIVE-SCAN
	(2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), (N/A), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN
	(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (6, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW, PASSIVE-SCAN
	(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (6, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW, PASSIVE-SCAN
	(5490 - 5730 @ 160), (6, 20), (0 ms), DFS, PASSIVE-SCAN
	(5735 - 5835 @ 80), (6, 20), (N/A), PASSIVE-SCAN
	(57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 0), (N/A)

note the 00: DFS-UNSET for country. the board doesn't even have a socket 
for a radio, but in practice its a supercharged rpi4b for $65 USD at 
alliexpress. I have yet to find something an rpi4b can do that the bpi's 
can't do. I have a sw problem with cups but I suspect its a software fix 
too.  Just got to find the magic mushroom. ;o)>

Take care & stay well, Tomas.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
