[BC] Digital STL

[Scott Cason]

>>DSL is, at best, a technology bridge.  It was never ready for prime time,
and has never been reliable.
>>To use DSL for a primary STL is a move away from goodness.
>>Also, the data rate available is very low, and you would have to use some
kind of low quality music/data compression, like MP3.
>>Certainly, broadcasting deserves something better than that.

I'm using DSL and a Barix Instreamer and Exstreamer as an STL for one of my
FM clients in Louisville.  With the proper settings, you can make it sound
as good as a microwave STL.  So far, the only down time we have experienced
as been an automobile crashing into the utility pole just down the street.
That took out the DSL and the program loop we have as a backup.
