Ham Radio Audio Streaming Applications
Find software for streaming live audio, exchanging client-to-client audio, and broadcasting your radio over the internet.
Amateur radio operators often use audio streaming software to extend the reach of their stations, enabling remote operation or sharing scanner feeds. This technology allows hams to manage their transceivers and listen to bands from a distance, whether across a local network or over the internet. Its particularly useful for those who need to operate their station when not physically present, ensuring continuous amateur radio activity.
This category features various tools for streaming audio, from duplex remote audio software like SKY Audio and RemAud, designed specifically for two-way amateur radio remote control, to general-purpose streaming servers. Hams can find applications for broadcasting scanner audio using ScannerCast, or for setting up their own internet radio streams with tools such as SHOUTcast DNAS or Unreal Media Server. These programs help operators share their audio feeds and maintain QSOs even when away from the shack.
