gollark: You have to have *some* encoding step to translate your data into radio signals.
gollark: Or possibly some other SDRs.
gollark: I vaguely remember reading about RTL-SDRs being used to reverse-engineer (partly) LoRa and some satellite phone encoding.
gollark: If they were using some bizarre exotic encoding but not actually encrypting it it would still be *possible*, if *very hard*, to decode it without the actual docs.
