Huh, did you know that you can still get new manufacture Bell-202 compatible modem chips?

Cheaper than FX614 on ebay.

@nix Ever heard of #CellBroadcast ?

And yes, I know #PTY31 from #RDS...

Also there's stuff like https://ntfy.sh ...
Personally, I think the next best thing would be #AFSK'ing #PocketCrypto over #CB Radio...

@cymaphore The idea is to build a low tech and low cost infrastructure with no licence required. CB radios are available for free or little money, TNCs can be built from #Arduino or other #microcontrollers or even via software (soundmodem). I think #afsk is maybe old, slow and outdated but it is what all this modems have in common. Better to have a common ground for all than something "better" only a few understand.
I find it very disturbing there are unused frequencies, especially such "hackable" as 27MHz.
