Simon, Have you considered sending just the digimode output instead of the audi stream? I did that for RPSK and it worked well, using a very simple protocol over TCP. The subsampled spectrum output, phase, signal quality, and RX data is lower bandwidth than an uncompressed audio stream.
One thing that Skype does well is negotiate connectivity for the audio. It can use peer-to-peer UDP or TCP or HTTP[ gateway CONNECT streaming, or as a last resort, a geographically-located Skype server that both parties can get too. There some quite complex stuff they do to get through firewalls without any help from the user. 73, Leigh/WA5ZNU On Fri, 16 Feb 2007 12:06 am, Simon Brown wrote: > FWIW I want to write a remote agent for my new digital mode software > (still > an internal beta), this agent will provide a non-compressed audio > stream > between the local program and remote PC. > > SKYPE will compress the audio I think which isn't such a good idea, but > having said that I haven't tried SKYPE with digital modes. > > FWIW I think the TS-480SAT / TS-2000 are the best radios for remote > station > use. > > Simon Brown, HB9DRV > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Leigh L Klotz, Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Try Skype for the audio channel... > > > > > Announce your digital presence via our DX Cluster > telnet://cluster.dynalias.org > > Our other groups: > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dxlist/ > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/themixwgroup > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/contesting > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnyar > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Omnibus97 > > > Yahoo!
