I know he DarhVader affect that happens on FM repeaters with audio delay when listening in full duplex. I was not intending for this streaming to be used in that fashion as also my SAT pass and AMSAT SAT pass will be very different due to our locations. 

Web streaming would be used as I mentioned in my initial posting. "Assist newbie learning curve, allow verification of tracking program setup, and give first hand training of what that SAT sounds like as well as real-time HAM OPs on that SAT." Secondary could be for AMSAT voice ads during SAT dead times. 

Maybe AMSAT-SatPC32 program could be modified to not just control a radio RX frequency but during the pass SatPC (using AOS/LOS Alert functions) would toggle PC audio amplifier to pass the RX mic-input audio to the PC-out speaker/Internet streamer. Nice PR for what SatPC32 can do for new buyers.

Makes me think of SATNOGS. You don't get a stream but you can get
audio for a lot of passes after the fact, most passes theoretically as
they get more stations up.

Example:

https://network.satnogs.org/observations/66/

Another issue with streaming online is there is almost always
buffering/delay. So it wouldn't help as much in hearing yourself
getting in because it would be so confusing. If you've ever tried to
listen to yourself speak over any delayed system (like broadcast).
It's very confusing.

Just an idea.
