CAB-2 can receive information—How?

I’ve had Legacy for 10 years, but I didn’t know until now that the CAB-2 has at least some ability to receive information. Offhand, I don’t know what practical purpose we could use this capability for, but it’s something to think about. First of all, though, I’d like to know how it works.

Maybe this capability is already generally known. I myself learned about it while using the iCab app. At one point, I put down my iPad with the iCab app and grabbed my CAB-2 to do something, and, while I was at it, I decided to change the speed on the CAB-2. When I went back to the iCab app, I noticed that the speed setting on the app matched the new speed I had set on the CAB-2. OK, communication back to the iCab app is perfectly understandable because the iPad is receiving, as well as sending, information via the wi-fi.

However, just for fun, I wondered if it would work the other way. If I changed the speed setting on the iCab app, would the speed setting on the CAB-2 change to match the new setting. I was surprised to find that the answer is yes. My question is, how does this occur? I didn’t know that the CAB-2 has a radio receiver or a wi-fi receiver. But, it must have one or the other, right?
