Yep, 20-odd years ago, I had modified a radio scanner and added a discrete output. Then used Poc32 to decode pager messages from the scanner via the PC’s sound card.
Got lots of server health messages and requests to call people back. And some more personal messages, too.
That is the exact vibe I wanted to capture. The feeling of a raw, unencrypted signal that just "appears" without a handshake. It felt more alive than a JSON payload over HTTPS.

That vibe is reflected in the 9/11 pager messages as well... https://911.wikileaks.org/
