I maaaay have taken my phone on an accidental trip in a pool and was given an old phone to use as temporary. Has a headphone port. Saw the radio app and realized how do many of my smart phones even had radio access even though they all are capable. Bastards

That would clutter the fuck out of the airwaves, and is insecure to boot. You don't wanna pick up someone else's signal.

They already make devices that do it. Usually it's not a strong enough signal to get past the metal panels on your car, but strong enough for the radio to pick it up on an unused station

Yes, and it's easier to keep something like that confined to a car. There's more space and a sizeable natural buffer.

Now imagine a train car full of people using this.
