Hey there
Since i wanted to depen real-time streaming and networking, two months ago i started working on this little project.
Is a client/server (dedicated server binaries will be available for community hosting) application simulating a 27mhz radio.
The app is basically a streaming audio chat, where an algorithm shapes the audio in real-time based on factors like the distance in between clients, the weather in the area of the streamer etc…
At the moment, since i’m still focusing on networking and streaming, all the clients gets a 8/10 signal power, regardless of the location. The code to implement the rest has been written but not ready yet to be implemented in a public test version.
Client (available for Windows and Linux) have been written in C# and Unity, while the dedicated server is a pure .net C# application.
So, the app is very straightforward. Once you run the program (note: it records from your default microphone), you just press the power button and get connected to the server. Then you press the push to talk button to start talking.
I don’t know how many of you are passionated about radios but still i try
Would be great if you could hop in, invite some friends and try it a little bit.
Theorically the networking system should be able to hold even 100 clients but i need some testers to find out.
Surely there will be issues
Here’s a screenshot of the actual interface:

Hope to hear you on channel 1!
