Could you build this?

No Receiving and decoding Japanese railway digital radio requires deep digital signal processing (DSP) and domain expertise in niche railway communication protocols.

What it would actually take: Built using Rust, Tauri 2, and SoapySDR bindings connected to SDR hardware like RTL-SDR. The hard part is designing the DSP pipeline (quadrature demodulation, symbol sync, error correction) and reverse engineering or implementing strict ARIB train radio telecommunication protocols.
