[$] Listening to the radio with Rust (lwn.net)
<p>
Many of the transmissions sent over the radio spectrum can
be decoded with a relatively cheap hardware dongle. Thomas Eckert presented at
<a href="https://rustconf.com/">
RustConf 2026</a> in Montreal about his hobby:
decoding radio transmissions with Rust.
In his presentation, he
covered all of the math necessary to get started with
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_radio">
software-defined radio</a>,
and gave demonstrations of listening to AM and FM radio, as well as decoding
transmissions from
aircraft transponders. His slides and example code are
