Online Radio and TV

There are so many great web resources that sometimes it’s easy to forget or misplace one. I was reminded today of RadioReference.com which is a big resource to forget, but I’m into so many varied projects I’ll use that as an excuse. In fact, they have a great radio frequency database that allows [...]

I ran across this in the last few days and wanted to leave a link here. Of course, there are lots of scanner streams online, this one is based in Cary, NC and covers the Raleigh-Durham area including police, fire, RDU airport, etc. here’s the link, one thing that’s kind of neat is [...]

This is an older model scanner that was sold at Radio Shack and likely other outlets probably in the late 80’s into the 90’s. It has Wx, scan and manual buttons, 10 channel memory and a key pad with Lockout capablities (and keypad off/on switch.) It can run on 12V DC (tip positive). [...]

There’s also an online stream of the Charlotte Mecklenberg County (North Carolina) available online. It’s a trunked system and the link to the stream is on this page. It’s an mp3 stream and they’re using an bc-825 trunk tracker to track it.

There are sites that give live scanner feeds online. Among those is http://www.police-scanner.info/live-police-scanners.htm. (That link takes you directly to the live streams.) Anyway, there are a number of North Carolina departments listed there and it’s likely worth it if you’re interested to check it out for your state as well.

I haven’t heard the EMS in our area use these kinds of codes, but some places do have a system for describing patients conditions via various codes (one adam one). There are a couple good posts in the radioreference.com forums explaining this long list of codes.

Once again, I’ve copied this from wncps.org which seems to be offline at the moment. I hope that site is back up soon, it is a good resource for WNC scanner frequency information. (Sorry for the poor tabbing…)

For those of you scanner listeners… the ten-code list may be just enough to make you start to sort out what you’re hearing (although different localities may use slightly altered variations.) The same goes for “signals” I know some of these DON’T match what I hear locally, but then some do… so Here’s a [...]

There was a local site that had these, but I can’t seem to pull it up right now, hopefully www.wncps.org is just temporarily offline, but hopefully they won’t mind me listing a ten code reference here from their site.
The ten codes may vary by locality. However, these seem to be very close [...]

I should also mention… another scanner that has had really good reviews and is available in the under $200 category. That’s the Radio Shack Pro-97. (Available for $150 on sale from time to time at Radio Shack.) I’ve seen some really good reviews. The Radio Reference wiki page for it is [...]
