    [$] Listening to the radio with Rust

    Description:
    Many of the transmissions sent over the radio spectrum can
    be decoded with a relatively cheap hardware dongle. Thomas Eckert presented
    at RustConf 2026 in Montreal about his hobby:
    decoding radio transmissions with Rust.
    In his presentation, he
    covered all of the math necessary to get started with software-defined radio , and gave demonstrations of listening to AM and FM radio, as well as decoding transmissions from
    aircraft transponders. His slides and example code are available on GitHub.
