With all the new scanners and system changes I figured it would be nice to have a thread to discuss anything radio/police/racing scanner related.

I serve a stream using ProScan. You can download it and listen to scanners from around the world for free using the scan over ip feature.

For those who dont have the $$ to spend on a Digital Scanner, buy an RTL-SDR usb dongle from ebay (as pictured) for around $10.00 and using SDR software you can scan APCO25 among other types of digital decoding.

OK this is cool, nice to have a new section.

But FCC rules states that you can NOT relay any police broadcasts to any second party, (applies to the US only) what you here online with them as far as any police radio traffic must stay with you, a big fine and serious jail time can come about.

Just a word of warning.

Looks to me that there is lots of issues pro and con about streaming police radio traffic. It is a "public right to know" issue vs an un-authorized re-broadcast of a non-broadcast radio signal. I bet if you stream to any city other than the one where the police traffic came from then there is no problem--if you are in another city, you can't interfere with the police. And if it truly is "tactical" messaging, they have radios that encrypt or spread-spectrum the signal so that you CAN'T pick it up in the first place.


It seems no one has been taken to task for re-broadcasting such.
