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 :)
how does the pro kit get the stream across , i would guess not know much about that the upload speed could be a problem with a 3g connection? not even convinced a wifi connection would give you enough bandwidth up the upstream? would not just stutter a lot.
I imagine that because it's radio, then it's audio they're dealing with - Kb/sec not Mb/sec...
