contents We introduce the FLASH haloscope experiment and present its electronic read-out system, currently under development. FLASH searches for Dark Matter (DM) particles and High-Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGWs) using two cryogenic resonant cavities to scan the radio frequency spectrum between 117 and 360 MHz, looking for signals as weak as 10-22 W. The signal read-out uses Microstrip Superconducting Quantum Interference Amplifiers (MSAs) as low-noise amplifiers and Software-Defined Radio (SDR) techniques to acquire, preprocess and reduce the physics signal to a format suitable for permanent storage and offline analysis.
