seems reasonable. setting up 3 or 4 single listener shoutcast servers to allow for seeking around and listening to random frequencies, one per node, also doesn't seem too crazy, if a bit unorthodox ;) depends on the bandwidth of the SDR i guess..

i've thought about this a little bit.. i don't spend 100% of my time listening to my ham radio and could certainly offer a door that allowed seeking around, with the output to a publicly known shoutcast server whenever i'm not using it. or perhaps to a verified licensed user, an input and a keying button could be offered. or barring that just something you could use yourself from remote.

lots of cool stuff to come up with :)

did rip-script ever pass audio?  maybe that is something that could work?

At this point it would be more work than the use it would get on the BBS.  I am
going to try and get the packet node working again and see if I can come up
with a idea for it.   Would be rad to have a back bone to pass qwk messages via
packet if the internet went down, that way BBSes can keep the dove net going or
even fido.  Sure the boards would need to be close or use a digi repeater but
with APRS they are all over, so piggy backing on that would be easy.
