Hi Joe
(Great to see you and your son Tim last weekend, by the way.)
How old is the computer you use to supply the audio to your transmitter? Does it have adequate memory (RAM)? Are any other programs running at the same time as Winamp?
That said, I have noticed lately that every once in a while, Winamp will crash on the computer I am using to play 1950s music through my SSTRAN, leaving it broadcasting only a dead carrier until I discover I am off the air and restart Winamp. I am using a 2007 vintage Compaq PC that runs Vista, and only will take 2 GB RAM max (which it has). I am thinking about switching to another older computer I have, an HP that has 4 GB RAM, and switching to Windows Media Player instead of Winamp.
And I did not have this problem before we moved.
