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
