Re:Walkie Talkie, an open source peer-to-peer iOS communicator by iliesaya on Monday November 03, 2025 @03:50AM (#45797101)
"and real-time radio streaming without requiring internet connectivity." is misleading. iPhones don’t have an accessible FM tuner, so there’s no true offline radio here. The project does P2P audio over Bluetooth/Wi-Fi (walkie-talkie style) and streams FM stations over the internet. Cool demo, but not RF radio — the README makes it sound like the phone can receive broadcast FM, which it can’t.
