Using Windows, I've never been able to get them to work. I've tried using a mozilla firefox browser also.

In Firefox go to tools, options, content, file types, manage.  It ill show how files are handled. If you can list the items that handle audio files and windows media maybe we can get to the bottom of the issue. Does it show a missing plugin in the new page when you click the link?

Greg,
I really think it is a browser set up issue.  The link works ok for me.

I'll reboot the computer Sunday morning and post a reply here. We'll see if that fixes the problem.

It works ok from here. Did you post a message about a problem previously?  Sorry if it was missed.
Maybe it has something to do with your browser set up.
What browser do you use and does it have all the multimedia plugins and add ons enable?

As of 2/20/2007, I've added the Police Intercity frequency to the scanner (155.370). OSP and YPD have been using the joint frequency to communicate with each other during the Special Interdiction Patrol (SIP). Ohio State Patrol units are 800 numbered cars.

That depends on if you are hearing them say signal 3 or if they are saying go to channel 3. A signal 3 is a shooting/stabbing and they stay on the main channel usually. Channel 3, also known as car to car, is a lower powered frequency. Sometimes it's hard to hear cars when they are on channel 3 unless they are in the general neighborhood. A better antenna hooked up to the scanner would probably help get better reception. I'll most likely be changing antennas in the near future.

FYI - The scanner feeds will be down from 4pm to midnight on Saturday 1/13 so I can take the radios to the GYMA After Xmas Xmas party. They will go back online when I get home.

Greg thank you very much for putting these feeds up! I do have a question though. It says for YPD it picks up channels one, two and three. However when they go to signal three nothing comes though. Is there something i am missing?

Well the scanner graphic isn't working in graphite in 800 by 600.
Back to the drawing board.

ForumManager

I've added a tab for the scanner feeds at the top of the default forum just in case people don't have the top section expanded.

The scanner image is now on the graphite theme.
It looks really good too since it is red and black!
