• Disconnected every time after exactly 20 seconds. Otherwise known as "The 20 second bug".  The reason this is happening is because you are using wireless, behind a router or in some cases cheap DSL internet. Meaning, you do not have your own specific direct connection to a static IP address. This "bug" is rare and only effects one out of 40 people that are "behind a router". This is not the fault of Voiperized. This occurs because a stay alive ping from your pc can't get through to everyone connected to you, because the router you are "behind" is not open. In some cases this can be fixed by using "Port Forwarding".  Go to your router's configuration panel. Go to the "Port Forwarding" or "Port Mapping" section of your router's configuration. Change the settings to "Allow Port 4379 UDP". This may fix it. It may not. This problem is popular with those using "LINKSYS" routers.
• No Mic Audio: If "sound check", using the directions above works but you still do not have mic audio in Voiperized... Go to Settings/Preferences in Voiperized. On the bottom left in settings you see "SOUND Input and Output Devices. They both say "Primary". Change both Input and Output to the other selection. (the name of your soundcard). Press OK and then Exit and Restart Voiperized for the changes to take effect.
• "Choppy" Audio: Choppy on and off audio is caused by people trying to key livecbradio with wireless keyboards. Example: You are using a wireless keyboard with the Ctrl key as your PTT. For some reason, many wireless keyboards will not hold the PTT signal. Another words, you press and hold the PTT button and the radio jumps in and out of transmit mode. Use a regular keyboard if you must have keyboard PTT (push to talk).

LIVECBRADIO AUDIO & TRANSMIT

Why does livecbradio receive audio sound different than normal cb radio?
Simple Answer: "Because it is digital". The voice codec used in voiperized is not meant to process static and other noises present on cb radio. Sometimes very weak signals and static will make "R2D2 Noises". The voice codec has a sort of built in noise gate or noise canceling effect. The static will remain and then be cancelled out in about 7 seconds where some light bleeping noises are heard. This is normal. You are not missing anything, as that noise is dead silence. If you hear a very weak signal with this slight bleeping noise and it's hard to hear them, this would be the same as fighting to hear someone with a very weak signal through the static level. Better audio would mean more processing time. Processing time means a delay. Like the huge delay on bad cell phone service, it can cause people to talk at the same time. Voiperized is tested faster than the latency involved in a local cell phone call. It's fast!

How does the Livecbradio Transmit Audio Sound?
ON AM, I believe it to be amateur AM shortwave broadcast quality. The audio signal runs through an EQ and other subtle processing. (soundcard GUI) ON SSB the audio is above any expectation for a CB Radio. When the livecbradio is switched to SSB, the sound preset is also switched on the soundcard. This cutting out midrange to shape a nice tone for SSB. On SSB, the livecbradio transmit audio is easily AM CB Radio audio quality. The livecbradio cb radio is also zero beat on the fly to a general coverage HF rig.

NOTE: Livecbradio is Not VOX (voice activated) . Livecbradio is FULL PTT operation. When you press PTT in voiperized, the livecbradio transmitter keys up within a second, from virtually anywhere on earth. The transmitter will stay in transmit mode till PTT is released. How? When you press PTT, it triggers a clever amp/relay unit I built. A couple wires from that go to the mic plug of the cb radio to key it up.
