<h1 class="sectionedit1" id="rattlegram_desktop">Rattlegram Desktop</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> A few years ago, I posted about <a href="https://scarcs.ca/blog/2024-11-22/rattlegram_-_sms_via_audio_and_radio" class="wikilink1" title="blog:2024-11-22:rattlegram_-_sms_via_audio_and_radio" data-wiki-id="blog:2024-11-22:rattlegram_-_sms_via_audio_and_radio">Rattlegram</a>, a mobile app that encodes and decodes text as audio. I started playing with it again a bit today and found that someone made a <a href="https://github.com/observant-sun/rattlegram-desktop" class="urlextern" title="https://github.com/observant-sun/rattlegram-desktop" rel="ugc nofollow">desktop version</a>. It works the same on the computer as it does on the phone. I briefly tried to connected my computer to the <abbr title="High Frequency">HF</abbr> radio via <abbr title="Upper Side Band">USB</abbr> but it wouldn&#039;t transmit. If anyone figures out how to do that, please comment below! </p> </div> <!-- EDIT{&quot;target&quot;:&quot;section&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Rattlegram Desktop&quot;,&quot;hid&quot;:&quot;rattlegram_desktop&quot;,&quot;codeblockOffset&quot;:0,&quot;secid&quot;:1,&quot;range&quot;:&quot;11-&quot;} -->
