I've been experimenting with IPPBX recently, and I'm now able to receive radio audio through the handset and send calls to the radio station. I'm also researching how to use the handset to trigger the radio station's VOX (voice activation) feature.
It feels like you and I are essentially doing the same thing – just using IP protocol to transmit audio.
I recommend the ESP32-Audio-Kit development board, which should be able to achieve the functionality you require. However, converting text to speech for broadcasting may violate the amateur radio station management regulations prohibiting the transmission of broadcasts and signals, so I suggest you reconsider.
