I was looking in going into amature radio broadcasting, I plan to order my mic, mixer and all other cables. I was just wondering how to go about recording my show? The laptop soundcard is not the greatest and I would like to know if there is any cheap hardware £100 or lower to record for a while into mp3 format? Oh and sorry one more thing, im not sure on the mic I have ordered, I dont want to link it because I dont know what rules I am breaking, but what would be the best mic for me? I just want a mic for recording me and it would be a bonus if it diddnt pick up noises other than my voice My budget is £150 for that Thanks in advance Ben I wish they'd had this kind of stuff when I was just getting started... http://www.frequencycast.co.uk/podcastudio.html |

There are some hams who wished to be radio announcers in real life, and there are radio announcers who only use digital modes. I can get the ham radio news on podcast, seems silly to transmit it on 5 repeaters at a time once a week. |

I didn't assume that he was in the US, in fact, since he used a UK pound figure, I assumed he wasn't. In any case, he should read up on his country's amateur rules in regards to broadcasting. |

But "amateur radio news bulletins" are legal in the USA. But that's not what the original poster is asking about. He's talking about "radio broadcasting" but "amateur" as in a hobby not being paid. He's not talking about "amateur radio", he likely doesn't even know about it. He wants to play radio DJ, and he's either going to bootleg or stay within the miniscule power levels allowed for "unlicensed" use. Since he's not talking professional, he stumbled on this newsgroup because he saw the "radio" angle. Indeed, he may have latched on the notion of "amateur radio" to describe what he wants to do by finding this newsgroup. Unaware that amateur radio is a hobby of two way communication dating back to nearly the origins of radio, he thinks he's in the right place. Michael VE2BVW |

The laptop soundcard is not the greatest and I would like to know if there is any cheap hardware £100 or lower to record for a while into mp3 format? Is this for online publication or for radio broadcast? As others have suggested, you'll want to check what's permitted in your locality. It's also worth pointing out that this newsgroup (yes, this is Usenet, that comes as a surprise to some) is generally related to discussions on radio experimentation. That said, microphones feature here too. One thing I've found to be a real nuisance, particularly on some Toshiba laptops, is internal noise pickup. The onboard sound interface is notorious for picking up all kinds of interference from 50Hz humm from mains, through to PCI bus activity. A combination of USB audio, and earthing the laptop chassis seems to work however. When broadcasting via RF, it's also important to watch for RF feedback into the transmitter's input. I've had this happen to me a couple of times. A low-pass filter is needed to reject the high-frequency signal being induced into the audio signal lines. Often, this is done using ferrite suppression sleeves over the audio leads. It also is wise to ensure there is separation between the transmitter, and any receivers — I had a very interesting "ringing" effect by accidence once when I had my FT-290RII, sitting on top of a FT-897D tuned to the same frequency. The FT-897D was monitoring my uplink whilst I was broadcasting the WIA news service on the FT-290R II (I'm backup transmitter for the service on VK4RBN; 147.000MHz in Brisbane). Despite the netbook being connected via an audio transformer straight into the microphone port on the FT-290, I could hear this ringing noise on the transmission. Turned the volume down on the FT-897D, and the ringing went away. |
