[K4RY] K4RY IGate Status

[John Klingelhoeffer]

Streaming audio from the repeater is an interesting idea, although it would need knowledge beyond mine to do that.  


We have discussed Echolink as a way of getting new hams on the year quickly, since most students have iPhones or laptops (even though AU does not require the latter).

OTOH, now is the time to start building streaming audio rigs from single 
frequency scanners to put a web feed of the repeater on the website. I 
use this to monitor my repeater, and as long as VLC is listening to the 
stream, none of the rest of the computer cares. Careful bitrate 
manipulation can get it down to 8Kbps or so. And don't forget about 
Echolink, IRLP, APRS, or anything else that needs a dedicated radio to 
do receive-only or single-frequency link.
