I have a question about the YPD scanner. What is the purpose of the Morse Code which I hear sometimes?
By law, radio transmitters must broadcast their call sign and time. The morse code you hear is the Police Department's FCC call sign (KNBJ654) and the current time of the ID. The Fire Department's transmitter just ID'ed itself as I was typing this. The radio transmistters usually ID once an hour. If you ever listen to the YFD at 8:05, they set off the all stations tone and give their call sign when they test all the truck radios.
I am trying to open the police scanenr sie and receiving a erropr message that the firewall needs disabled, I disbled and still can not open the site , should pop through the windows media player but not doing anything, and other solutions?
There are many software programs out there that will use your computer's sound
card input to decode Morse code into ASCII text, for those who are interested.
Ham radio operators use these types of programs all the time to send and
receive Morse code.

If I decipher your post correctly, you are not receiving Warren PD/FD on your scanner? Warren PD and FD are on an 800MHZ trunked system (so is Austintown so your probably not getting them either). Warren PD broadcasts on 151.220 also so try putting that in your radio. Unless you have a trunking scanner, Ausintown and Warren Fire are probably not going to work for you.
