Mumble is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software primarily intended for use while gaming, which makes it a perfect solution for near real time audio for the Web Controlled Radio.
The W2LIE.net live scanner server has a built in delay because of the built in buffer. The buffer can only be adjusted by so much. While controlling a radio, 20 or more seconds of delay can cause a bit of trouble to the user.
We've decided to go with Mumble because it is free to operate and run as a server. It is the same type of program as the more popular "Team Speak", and there is no licensing fee.
Mumble will work on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms.
Downloading Mumble:
The Mumble application can be downloaded from their Sourcforge webpage located here: [link] Download the software for your operating system.
Installing Mumble:
The installation process of Mumble is pretty straight forward. You will want to stick with all the default settings and then go through the audio setup.
Connecting with Mumble:
You'll want to setup a private server to connect to the W2LIE.net server. The information is as follows: Label: W2LIE.net Address: remote.w2lie.net port: 64738 User: Your W2LIE.net User Name
Or, you can click on the Listen Live link and look for MUMBLE under the Remote Radio.
