Because we want to stay on a high quality level and we don't want do have several other TOA detection networks by just copying our work. I'm sure we will release that code as open source in the far future. Meanwhile check our open source applications written by participants.

I never before saw a black box, which comes completely unassembled and with schematics. Big Grin

Something? Just read the documentation and check the schematics, and you will see that it's a simple VLF receiver.

Everyone can see what it's receiving. You can also attach an oscilloscope.

All the raw signal data can be downloaded by the participants.

Yes, we stream the audio data directly to some security agencies and we get some big server for the strike locating from them. Where is the problem? Rolleyes

Whatever I would answer here, you might made another conspiracy theory out of it. Instead you should ask all the others who participate in this great project.

Please show me a VLF mobile phone Rolleyes ! Everything in this frequency range is either for the public or encrypted (military).
