The idea is basically for a couple of friends who work at a non-profit radio station for outside broadcasts maybe over wifi or 3G, well if it works.... A similar bit of pro kit to do something like that is about £2200 for the receiver and about £700 for the device to send the audio, I figure that if it can be done with a Raspberry Pi and maybe a slightly more professional USB sound card then it might save the radio stations a bit of money :-)

Good idea, but the trouble with this sort of thing is that you might as well just use a small netbook thing... much more powerfull and built-in
batteries..

However there's no fun in doing it that way :)
