[cma-l] Raspberries, Steroids and Low Cost DAB

[Canalside's The Thread]

Sorry everyone for a rather Numpty-ish question, but if all this goes well
and '''within'' a Community Radio Budget are saying this would be an
'''AS-WELL AS''' or an '''INSTEAD OF''   ie:- either / or ???

 

I don't see any benefit at all if you have to switch off FM and go just DAB
.......just so folk don't get selective memory loss I would like to point
out that the DAB discussion started about 5 - 6 years ago with the original
suggestion of 'shifting' all the Big Stations over, thus leaving FM for
Community Radio, which of course would mean a heck of a lot of Community
Radio.

 

Obviously the discussion has gone off on lots of different routes since.
Nowt wrong with that may I say . not complaining, just making a point

 

All the best everyone

 

Regards

 

Nick

Hi Pete and Glyn

 

I attended the earlier demo in Baldock and was very impressed with what can
be achieved on such a low budget.

 

In some ways, I wish this had been on the table five or so years ago when we
were looking to start our local station, else I might have chosen this route
instead of FM. (That'll generate some discussion)  ;-)

 

I'm seriously itching to look at getting involved with this trial and I'm
considering setting up a separate group to share experiences, advice and
knowledge.  If you're interested in being a part of that let me know.

I have been following the open digital radio project for quite some time.
This is a similar thing that they have trail on in Switzerland. It does lack
a GUI, so some Linux CLI experience is required. There are more things that
could be improved on as well, but it is a fully working system at present.

This software can work on standard PCs that are dual core upwards.
I am looking into using the software on a  VM system (like Hyper-v or Xen).

It does show that a lot of engineering in radio including RF is becoming
more and more computer orientated.
