gollark: Apiowhat?
gollark: A square wave is apparently in some confusing way equivalent to the sum of an infinite number of sine waves, so you get horrible interference, and it's low-power so the range is terrible.
gollark: It can generate ~100MHz square waves and you can connect up an antenna, which is *basically* what a radio transmitter would do but stupider and worse.
gollark: Yes, a clock or something.
gollark: A quirk of the raspberry pi means it can transmit FM radio with horrible interference because it can only broadcast square waves or something, because of happening to have a somewhat adjustable ~100MHz clock exposed on external pins or something.
