That's fine - except it's using public networks are domestic-quality equipment with the many risk elements that entails.Hardly a professional broadcast solution.We would only install professional rack-mounted codecs using the latest minimum-latency software operating via fixed IP addresses linked to a known reliable ISP - if the wholly-owned option of if a radio link path using any of the 5 available platforms was physically impossible.

Subject: Re: [cma-l] Radio Link Transmission systems Using IP, you can easily stick in a router at the TX with automatic network fail-over. It will pick up your internet stream via a secondary ADSL and /or plug a 4G modem .  Alan    Subject: Re: [cma-l] Radio Link Transmission systems not only that but sometimes the studio location can be in a really non suitable position for a transmitter site, and so you have to be situated somewhere else.

May I remind everyone ….. 5km !     don’t exceed that or else Ofcom will reach for the panic button the Commercials will chuck all their Toys out of the Pram and you’ll be in danger of broadcasting to more than one man and his Dog and we can’t have that now can we ?? as it just wouldn’t be Cricket. Everyone else pleases themselves but we have to stick to the rules of the fair play award. Remember, our aka name is   <>   Restricted FM                    LOL       J A couple of yogurt cartons and a piece of string normally does the trick and keeps the signal strength to a whimper, and the cost is negligible as well       a fiver (£5) topsWith reference to what Glynn has suggested, if the signal does stray by a few yards then you can always lob a few twigs in the way of it, that also usually does the trick.Listening to the state of ours in certain parts of Macc, I think someone has chucked a Tree in front of it.

Subject: Re: [cma-l] Radio Link Transmission systems I agree with Bill - if you have perfect line of sight (not even a twig in the way) then a digital 5.8GHz link is the way to go.   It gives you ample bandwidth to deliver perfect uncompressed PCM (ie CD quality) audio - no need for mp3, aac etc compression.  Rather than the free spectrum though, I'd go for licenced spectrum - for £50 a year fee it should be cleaner spectrum less susceptible to interference.  A few more details available on our website 'ere. -- Glyn Roylance - Principal ConsultantAssociated Broadcast Consultants          On 1 June 2016 at 12:06, Jonathan Pinfield <jonathan.pinfield at bcbradio.co.uk> wrote:Hi all We’re looking for cheap and reliable solutions to get our “on-air” output from our studios in Bradford city centre to our transmitter site a couple of miles away.
