ScannerCast is a new (free) application that I've developed that allows you to stream audio + tag data from your PSR-500/600 scanner over the internet.
ScannerCast uses SHOUTcast/Icecast compatible format, so its audio can be played back using standard media players such as ITunes, Windows Media Player, xmms, Real Player, or Winamp. No special client software needed!
Using ScannerCast and a standard media player, you can listen to your PSR-500/600, and see the tags displayed (in players like Winamp that support display of SHOUTcast metadata), across your home LAN or across the internet.
You can also forward your scanner audio AND TAGS to RR/ScanAmerica, without having to use any additional programs.
ScannerCast is currently in BETA testing. I'm looking for feedback on all aspects of its operation.
Additional functionality that's coming in the near future will allow you to control your scanner remotely using just your browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
Check it out, and download a copy if you're interested, at
ScannerCast Info and Download.
I'd most appreciate receiving feedback via email, sent to my callsign (k1pgv) @arrl.net
Enjoy,
