Looks like I lost about half the computers on my network. I'll be home tomorrow to sort it out.

Not happy, Jan.

Yep, faulty wifi network card.
Was going to make sure it was stable before advertising, but..... It's been up for 4 hours now, so I guess it's stable.

It might not be you. Do you stream the one on raddio as well because it comes up with error when I click play and for some reason a few months ago broadcasting stopped working for me but that is something to do with my computer that I can't figure out. Is there another way I can access it?

Can't seem to get anything off the direct link for the main 6IP/6AR (running, no sound), and broadcastify doesn't find the stream.

It is working but seems to be under extraordinary load. Will check it out when I get home.

When submitting faults, please let me know what app you're using, any errors etc.

Any reason the DFES FIREGROUND AND SIMPLEX CHANNEL RADIO STREAM initial transmission are cut off compared to DFES FIRE DISPATCH RADIO STREAM which are not?

Fixed a fault with the mid-band radio, as there was no audio. (Tait 2020)

Opened it up and pressed in the connectors between the RF and synthesiser board. Seems to be happy again.
