Multiple Bots playing sound in the Scenerio Training

Question

In our scenerio, we have a setting that whenever the bot's frequency is within the accceptable range of the radio, the CW sound (example: SOS but it would play ... --- ...) on the radio. One problem is that if multiple bots playing sound at the same time (for our case, 8 bots), it would be very chaotic.

Dr. Stonedahl suggested to only allow 2 bots within a specific range, so that not many bots would be playing sound at the same time. Changing the volume of the bots based on how off they are from the radio filter is also an option. One of our group member suggested using existed framework to merge the audio lines into one stream. Do your group have the same problem? Is there any idea on mixing sound?

Answer 1

I had the same question because in a real life scenario you cannot control how many people are on the same frequency and this could cause a problem in deciphering messages too, perhaps something Dr.Vincent can help us with?

For the bots though, I like the idea of using existed framework to merge the audio lines into one stream but wouldn't it then cause confusion in receiving the correct message sent by their original sender.
