The feeds should now be back online. I replaced the cable modem and my network is back up and operational. Thank you.

[yfdgricker]

The feeds are offline (as of 12/10) due to my cable modem dying. I am hoping to be able to replace the unit this evening. I'll post a reply when they are back up and running.

I believe I have the feeds back and the correct radios sending out the correct audio.

As I mentioned before, computers weren't designed to have 4 sound cards running inside it Please take a couple minutes and test the feeds and see if they are broadcasting correctly, if not drop me a private message on the forums here.

Sorry it took so long. I got one of my radios back from Uniden. The screen went bad on the radio and I had them replace it. I hooked that up last weekend and restarted the live feed for that radio and I think it messed up the settings for all the other feeds. I also started a new job this past week so tonight was the first chance I had to get everything back to normal operations. Thanks again for bearing with me.

There is a slim chance that the feeds may be down for a brief period of time. I'm going to have to switch my Time Warner Road Runner connection around since I was getting the internet through my old place of employment. I have to get them to start billing me directly. Hopefully, they can switch it without interruption in my internet service but there is always a chance that things might not go as planned. I'll try and keep everyone updated as much as I can.

Happy monitoring!

No problem -  as with anything else computer and internet related, there are bound to be glitches.
Thank you very much  for providing this service for us, Greg.

Update 9/21/2007

The feeds are messed up again. I will be troubleshooting the problem after 7pm tonight.

Hang in there and hopefully everything will be back up and working later this evening.

4/27/2007 Update...

I have the YFD feed back up and running but I am having some issues with the Police feed. I hope to have it back in normal operation this weekend. Tuesday, I had the power supply in the PC burn up. I replaced it but I'm not sure if the sound cards were damaged. Getting 4 sound cards running on 1 computer is a delicate dance

They may return in the future but for now I am not spending any money on infrastructure to maintain those feeds anymore. I am still keeping the Youngstown Fire feed operational.
