No Decoding train control radio systems requires specialized RF hardware interfacing, digital signal processing (DSP), and protocol reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires C/C++ or GNU Radio interfacing with librtlsdr to capture raw IQ samples around 220 MHz. The difficult part is implementing the demodulator (such as FSK/QPSK), frame synchronization, forward error correction, and decoding proprietary ITC Positive Train Control telemetry frames. This demands specialized knowledge in RF engineering, DSP, and telecommunications protocols.
