Our Equipment Needs
KRUU requires a lot of specialty equipment. As far as possible we're re-using hardware, and using free and open-source software. However, this only goes so far. What we need is equipment to make our broadcast MUCH better and more reliable.
To this end, YOU can help by either donating the equipment below, or contributing to assist with the purchase of this equipment. Contributions are simple - just click on the SUPPORT button at the top of this page, and you can donate via Paypal.
