Re-reply (because this new email client confounds me) Yes. Very much like websdr. Except remove the real RF. Simulate noise. Put internet users into the bandscope. It would literally be an online two-way radio.
I know, its a hard sell for scientific types. But, it has value... albeit in strange places. For instance: [through some online-broadcast forums] I know of war museum that has implemented in in-exhibit radio stream. It includes period-correct transmitters/receivers. They modulate the whole thing with a digitized playout server. How amazing would it be to put that servers playout into a virtual spectrum and allow web visitors to tune the dial in search of propaganda, radio from the front-lines, and clandestine transmitters? Virtual walkie-talkie with smart-phones? For me, radio lost its appeal when analog dials disappeared. But when I stumbled upon websdr, and these rtl devices, I went bonkers for it again. I love the hum/hiss/crackles/pops and I love an analog tuner (i know i know). Add pirate radio, regular folk talking, and the promise of an occasional world-wide contact, and I'll put my money into a hardware device in a heartbeat (raspberry pi with an astatic D104 microphone and a needle the bounces when people talk? i'll take two). I had wanted to tackled the idea myself, but its above my meager abilities. And to be honest, i'm not sure how well it would run with say, 1mb bandwidth and several thousand wannabe truckers. But thanks for entertaining the thought.
