  "description": "Self-hosted wideband intercept receiver for LoRa traffic. Captures IQ from any SoapySDR-compatible SDR or bladeRF, demodulates and decodes Meshtastic, LoRaWAN and MeshCore across SF7–SF12 at 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 kHz bandwidths. Surfaces decoded packets, node identities and a live spectrum waterfall in a local Flask web UI. Runs at 28 Msps wideband on a multi-core host.",
