First, eaf1956, listening to your 536HP on RSOIP and sounds pretty good. Wonder if you switched to mic input, because you have plenty strong audio.
Second, mule1075, Ghstwolf62, and others. Glad you are enjoying the feed. Have noticed several people from different parts of US, and a couple from Europe, log into my server. Yes, that was me adjusting the volume the other day.
Some people just want the LAPD, some want wider coverage, some say it is too loud, soft, too soft, so trying to find a happy medium. What I have going is a temporary set-up to see what interest there is in the feed. Will eventually try and devote a separate computer, or perhaps just another sound card in the Dell XPS (Win 7) that I am using now.
One problem is that I do a lot with DSD+ using RTL and now AirSpy. When set output to VB Cable, lose the audio to the feed. Don't know if a couple of more USB sounds cards would resolve issue. From what I have read about ProScan server and multiple feeds, I assume that those doing so have multiple sound cards. Will buy some in next few days.
A bigger potential problem is the following. I am a semi-retired physician, who spent a lot of time in ER work, and through that connection, and through being active in our local Rotary Club, I know a lot of LA Sheriffs and members of the LAPD and CHP. Have worked with these folks in my capacity as a physician over the last 35 years. I am still active in giving drug-prevention lectures to youth in this area, in conjunction with the LASD and LAPD.
They know I listen to scanners, and they have begged me not to run any feeds. This is why I have never had a feed (and never will) that can be readily monitored by anyone and his cousin on a simple I-Phone, IPAD, etc. application. If it is ProScan or the 536HP Wi-Fi (eventually), that is a different story.
With those apps, at least I believe that we are keeping things relatively limited to scanners with some experience.
However, the LASD and one LAPD officer, I don't know how, already know that I have this feed up, and a couple of higher ups (LASD) called and said "Steve, what are you doing." I've tried to reassure them that this is a limited audience. We will see how things work out. The other possibility is to leave the ProScan feed on, but not publicly listed. For those few selected persons who I know from this list who want to use it, I can always pass along my IP and you can log in.
We will just have to see how this whole thing works out. But I do enjoy having the feed going for others to hear. As you can hear, there is a lot of stuff happening in Los Angeles. Right now I will leave the LAPD on. However, if I get a few more requests for wider coverage, I will add LA ICIS, LAFD, and perhaps the CHP.
Thanks for the feedback.
