Hi and Happy New Year I'm still on the STL issue that I raised earlier. I'm going to try running the STL via a AAC+ stream at 64kbps. Has anybody tried this...
Of you course you can always use a service like that offered by www.no-ip.com to get around any dynamic IP issues. Also, if you are using something like winamp...
I've tried online streaming to our transmitter in Kerikeri, and it sucks. Dropouts, poor quality, never know when it's working and when it's not... So now I...
You will need aprox $ 8K to $10K to do it properly the Big Two mostly use 900 mhz with some long or mono links still on 400Meg band A common stl tx and rx is...
The license costs are pretty small. The last one I came in contact with was around $50 a year for 400MHz for a about a 25KM. It was the one-off engineering fee...

900Mhz links need line of sight, so to go around a hill you'll need an intermediate point to on link which can see both locations, so that gets even more...

Hi All, So, say I was to say I had worked out a way to 'timeshift' my radio station... And was tempted to have an additional shoutcast stream at -13 hours to...
To try and put it in a black and white way of looking at it.... You don't purchase the right to broadcast the same song again free of charge ;o) That's why...

When you pay your royalties you must pay one fee for your radio transmission, then another for your internet stream, Id imagine that for a second (even though...
Hmm this is all very true. I never thought of it like that. Ok, bad idea to timeshift. More expense, more hassle etc. Perhaps I will use this to simply...
I don't mean that in a bad way about money though to them, PPNZ or APRA. It just costs time which is a hassle with LPFM with no budget for scheduling software...

I suspect the timeshifting has nothing to do with it. I think it's 1 x FM = one licence. 1 x Internet Stream = another licence. Therefore, 1 x FM + 1 x...
Has there been any more news in regards to the proposed power increase for LPFM operators? Last I heard (and I'm a bit out of the loop) there was talk of it...

Whew! Gavin I agree! When its all sais and done,regardless of the metering used,one still has to use ones ears to equalise volume levels. Peak meters such as...
Only real difference between VU and PPM is speed - VU is a more realistic average of signal level over a longer period of time whereas PPM is showing the...
I accept that it is in fact the peak volume in each sample that is being displayed in the StationPlaylist Studio "VU" meter, and not an average volume of the...
