Does anyone have please a copy of a plug in for winamp that ensures ALL tracks on the playlist are played before ANY are repeated.
Also can anyone tell me please the setting required to make Winamp automatically start playing after a complete computer shut down caused by an external power failure.
Many thanks Dave

Yeah but...
Translators are not synchronous.
Running transmitters on the same frequency for the same service, but
without any synchronisation, is also not synchronous.
What George did was not by any step of the imagination synchronous.
Jamie specifically asked for synchronous.... he mentioned "waves in
sync"
Of course, you can run as many transmitters as you are allowed to
(within the Radio Regs) and run them all on the same frequency if you
wish, and don't bother with any synchronisation if you wish.
If you don't synchronise them, then you have to put up with the
resultant, uncontrollable, mush zone.
If you DO synchronise them (and thats were the $60k box comes in) then
the mush zone is much much much much smaller, and can be tightly
controlled
So please don't confuse translators, what George did using Sky, or
multiple non-synced transmitters as a synchronous FM solution. Because
they are not.

On the UpFM subject, they did do this before the new LPFM bill came
into
effect last year. They had 107.3 from Ponsonby and repeaters (also on
107.3)
all over the city - with the feed supplied via Sky Digital. Expensive
way of
doing it, but cheaper than $60,000 I guess.
Their Ponsonby transmitter also broadcast from the Sky platform so all
sites
were in sync.
In the early days of George (back on 100.6/88.3) we were bouncing the
RF
signal to each transmitter. From Ponsonby, we broadcast 100.6 which a
tuner
in Grey Lynn (and in Parnell) received, and simulcast that on 88.3,
then
say, in Pt Chevalier it would do the same back to 100.6 - giving
coverage
much like the structure of a spiderweb. This was synchronous FM every

Can't do that now of 'course with the 25km rule.
You'd loose a bit of audio quality too, eventually.
From my experience, if you are in the same area, you really need 300kHz space
to avoid station interference. That reminds me, yet again someone has had a
silent carrier in Wgtn on 107.5FM for about 3 weeks. Anyone know who? And what
is wrong with 107.4?

Eh if you are running .1 away from another station you are seriously
struggling for a bit of space there lads. You need 150 KHz spacing for
stations in the same service area, and turning down your modulation to
compensate will seriously effect your signal to noise ratio, not good with
the lower power levels. Sounds like it's a little chaotic in N.Z. there, you
want to watch out for that cos the powers that be might revoke the laws that
allow you all to broadcast if they think it is getting congested.

The deviation of a FM radio station
is controlled by the volume of the audio signal.
The frequency of the sweep of the signal within the deviation is
controlled by the frequency of the audio signal.

Brian
Works in Invercargill...
Sounds fine on the Country Radio station down there. There's a small
interference patch between the brief cross-over point by car radio, but so long
as they only just cross it seems to work down there well. But having the
transmitters majorly overlap (which you wouldn't need if one already services
that area) then I could proberly see the $60,000 point in that. Otherwise if
there's no digital delya or any type... would work.
Cheers,
Gavin.

Don't confuse the modulating frequency with the occupied bandwidth
With FM, the amplitude of modulation (ie: how much bandwidth you
occupy) is given by the amplitude of the signal (the volume)
Turn it up loud, you use more
Turn it down, you use less
With stereo carrier on, you are changing the frequency of the
modulation a lot, but the amplitude only a little, as the mono component
makes up the lions share of the amplitude.
Someone correct me if I've got my theory wrong :-)

Switching to mono does not alter your occupied bandwidth by much at
all.
You need to turn down the volume to reduce the occupied bandwidth.
Jochen
I can certainly confirm that .1 spacing does NOT work, even on mono
stations with deviation screwed down pretty tight.
UpFM tried it (and are still trying it), and it just hosed everyone around
them as well as their own signal.

Hi Jamie and LPFM people,
Rebroadcasting with waves in sync is called synchornous FM
You need a budget of around $60,000 for the equipment
And then an operating budget of around $2,000 or more per month for the
data circuits
Its complex, highly technical, and very expensive.
But it can be done.

You would have to get the signal to the second location somehow? It would have
to be in sync... because if it was 1 second or more behind it would be just
dumb.... I hard wired landline would be one way... but telephone quality
would sound terrible..... You have to watch the restrictions of 25 kms of
transmitting substantially the same program as well.

88.2 Wave FM Dunedin forced off the air by RSM on Fri 28TH .I heard
thru the grapevine they were pushing 30 - 40 watts after around
18/24 mths of broadcasting.
With many more LPFM stations on air now in the lower sth island,
RSM are sure to be more vigilant on compliance rules than in the
past.
Does anyone know if a fine would have been imposed on the Wave FM
operator ?.
I know large radio stations do this. Someone from BCL was telling me
about this a while ago.

I've been getting interferance from them on 88.1 in the Grey Lynn and
Westmere, especially round the Grey Lynn shops. I've talked to them about it
but I don't think they will be changing because there are not many other
places to go.

However, I'm still getting significant interference on 107.7 (from UpFM's

Despite 2 weeks of me running in mono to try and make room for UpFM and

Following our telephone conversation last Thursday, I'm still getting major
interference from you.
I notice that your 107.6 frequency often has no audio on it.
Can you confirm your location, as I've been unable to prove that you are coming
from Mt Hobson as you told me.
I would ask that you consider making your aerial directional so that your
signal towards Otahuhu is much reduced and stop interfering with me

It was a good station I suppose as 105.4Coast is playing similar music there was no point keeping it going.It was run a bit like the old Unforgettable music it was on 99.8 a few years back.I now listen to Coast whenever I switch on the radio now apart from surfing it a lot to see whats on as the LPFM band in South Auckland is boring.

only get it in patches through Papatoetoe/Otara. It could possibly be

Every station should ensure they use:
1. A low pass filter to filter anything above 15kHz
2. A high pass filter to filter out any sub-audible frequencies below
around 15 Hz
This will help keep the band clean.
Most professional processing and stereo encoder equipment has the
necessary filters built in
