minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·1 month agoMy first phone could play terrestrial radio. I miss that.
minus-squaregedaliyah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 month agoCame to this thread to upvote over the air radio and I had to scroll way too far!
minus-squareSCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoThere’s an app iirc that lets you plug headphones in and it somehow uses them as an antenna… Oh wait, no more headphone jack!
minus-squarepiccolo@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoThe phone has to have an ADC hardware to allow that.
minus-squareSCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoSo basically it just has to have a microphone? Essentially, it has to be TRRS?
minus-squarepiccolo@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 month agoWell no. I was being simple to get the point across. You’d need something like this to amplify and demodulate the radio siginal and then convert it to digital.
minus-squareSCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoAnd phones don’t have something like that?
minus-squarepirat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoIf they don’t, you’ll have to use something like an external RTL-SDR dongle and a USB OTG adapter…
minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoIt depends if the hardware is locked down or not

Not all do.
