Radio access could be a critical safety feature in the years ahead.

I didn’t even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

Or basically any Android with OTG support. There’s a bunch of SDR software also available on Android. SDR++, SatDump, SDRAngel, Welle.io, Dump1090,…

But obviously, a proper GNU+Linux phone will do better.
