The Raspberry Pi is fast enough for radio and audio applications and it has been reported that it can be programmed to be an FM transmitter. Since the Raspberry Pi OS responds to CPU overtemperature by changing the system clock frequency it is questionable if such a “transmitter” would be stable.
Any such digitally derived carriers for radiation need careful filtering to avoid producing harmful interference. Though it might be fun to experiment with these on the bench it would be unwise to do any serious broadcasting with them.
