24 alternatives to An easy way of broadcasting radio around you (looking for feedback)

The project identifies as "Your Raspberry Pi FM network". It uses a fork of the well-known PiFmRds as a backend to stream audio on FM radio. It allows the control of multiple pi units with a central server, that can also be temporarly hosted on google cloud shell or github codespaces.

Your Raspberry Pi FM network uses a modified version of PiFmRds to broadcast audio on FM radio through Raspberry Pi units. It provides centralized control over multiple Pi devices, with the server optionally running on… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hi HN! I'm the author and maintainer of BotWave, a piece of software that lets people owning a Raspberry Pi (Zero to 4) broadcast on FM radio over a relatively small range. It also supports building a network of Raspberry Pis connected to a central server to manage them all. Disclaimer: I already know that Raspberry Pis produce a ton of harmonics, and that broadcasting on FM may be illegal depending on your country. It is not meant to be misused. PS: I already posted about it about 8 months ago, but since then it has become significantly more powerful, documented, and upgraded.

    I built a software-defined radio transmission platform that runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. It spawns its own WiFi hotspot and serves a web UI — connect from any device and you have a portable RF signal generator with 12 transmission modes: FM broadcasting with RDS, FT8, RTTY, FSK, POCSAG paging, Morse code, SSTV image transmission, voice cloning via live mic, spectrum painting, IQ replay, carrier wave, and frequency sweeps. Everything runs through a browser interface. Upload audio files, type messages, configure frequencies, and transmit. The Pi's GPIO pin does the actual RF generation via…
