Title: On-line Scanners
Post by: hotrats on March 13, 2010, 05:14:33 pm

I signed into the ARRL website and started diving into the members only sections. Found an interesting series of articles on internet radio stuff. There was a link to this site ...

Pick your state and county and there is a good chance they are live streaming the police/fire bands. They have mine which I thought was cool. I started looking around then for a portable app that might do the same thing. I found 5-0 Radio Pro at the app store.

You can check the feeds available but it pretty much streams radioreference,com (see above) and also does some music (haven't tried yet) and a few repeaters. Interesting little app.

I remember a iPhone/Touch app that did the scanner thing. I inherited one awhile back that had some chew spit dumped into it - I got it going (somehow), but it stank, so it had to go. Was fun listening to the drive through at McD's and the like.
