Abstract
In this paper we discuss several surprisingly simple methods for transforming the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2) microcontroller into a radio transmitter, by using only cheap off the shelf electronic components, and open source software. While initially this transformation may look as a harmless curiosity, in some extreme cases it can also pose security risks, since it can be used to open a large number of local stealth radio communication channels.
