JerShare Radio
As of 02-02-2008 JerShare Radio is ON THE AIR!
Hey, welcome to jerhsare radio wiki!
02-17-2008: I am very happy with the current setup, feels quite powerful, I am having a hard time thinking of new stuff to add. The sound quality even without the stc1 is good to excellent throughour the house, and band interference is minimal.
I am going to try and document my radio adventure here, including:
Hardware
- ramsey fm transmitter
and tone control
these are a WIP these are both complete as of 02-02-2008 - building other associated items needed
- setting up a server for streaming
- old laptop for running the system upgraded to real "server"
- needed items
Software Used
- using icecast2 with mpd
- software used
- making playlists
- phpmp pitchfork for control on the server itself
- gmpc or other mpc elsewhere
- scripting a method of inserting Station IDs in streams and radio (to mix over a voice with festival)
- pulseaudio JACK
- mastering
Challenges
- finding and verifying free bandwidth (will be tough)
- antenna designs
- testing and benchmarks
- ham radio certification
- legal issues
- need some sort of mixer see JACK
- stc1 tone control non-operational
Alternatives/Possibilities
- Jinzora for front-end control forget it, pitchfork kicks ass
- would like to integrate SIP (gizmo) calls
- mastering using pulseaudio JACK - compression see jack-rack
