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.
