Weather Radio Upgrade

New streaming encoders that feed our weather radio streaming audio have been installed to improve quality. Most importantly, the Reno WXK58 stream is now a high quality stream.

Tuning uses a NESDR Nano 2+ software defined radio (SDR) connected to a Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ to encode as MP3 and upload to the streaming server. Each stream has a dedicated Pi for its SDR.

Even though Google is promising a number of upgrades to iProvo, having a government sanctioned monopoly for $1 is a sweet deal that would have never been offered to a local provider like XMission.
