In an attempt to have a hand at real life cyber+punk, it might be interesting to take a look at SDR.

For just a handful of dollars, it's possible to get some pretty cool receive-only tools. Within a few hours of exploring the possibilities, I was able to find the local police and emergency services bands ( though, most of the channels were encrypted ).

On the same equipment, tuned to plane transponder frequencies, and now you can watch nearby aircraft traffic.

I'm by no means any sort of expert on this, but it was interesting to dig in and discover what information you can mine from the air.

Have any of you worked with tools like these? Maybe even dabbled in radio technology in general?

Hopefully I'll have some progress posts in the future! My only transmit project is the KPop one but I am not anywhere close to that. I do have thoughts about transmitting in other environments but am not sure super about the legal aspect of that.

"High tech, low life."

"The street finds its own uses for things."

We all know the quotes and the books. But cyberpunk is more than a neon-soaked, cybernetic aesthetic, or a gritty dystopian science fiction genre. It is a subculture composed of two fundamental ideas: PUNK, and CYBER.

The PUNK: antiauthoritarian, anticapitalist, radical freedom of expression, rejection of tradition, a DIY ethic.

The CYBER: all that, but high-fuckin'-tech, ya feel? From DIYing body mods to using bleeding edge software to subvert corporate interests. It's punk for the 22nd century.

This is a community dedicated to discussing anything cyberpunk, be it books, movies, or other art that falls into the genre, or real life tech, projects, stories, ideas or anything else that adheres to these ideals. It's a place for 'punks from all over the federated Net to hang out and swap stories and meaningful content (not just pictures of city nightscapes).

Welcome in, choom.
