Is there a way to turn up the volume for the feeds or does this have to be done by each feed? The volume is very poor through out the feeds if there is a way please increase the volume for the server my speakers are at a 100 % . Thanks tom
Is this the kind of thing that might help with my feed from here in Humboldt County? There's been one general scanning problem for years, in that Eureka PD/FD and Arcata PDs' repeaters have very loud audio compared the the Sheriff, Cal-Fire, and CHP. And with the feds having pretty much moved everything to narrowband, THEIR relative volume has gotten even lower. Unless I'm sitting at my scanner driving it, my thousands of listeners (by actual count) hear some stuff way loud/clear, but can barely make out the rest unless they fiddle with their audio.People running streams who want to get serious with the audio level issue might want to check out a compressor/limiter. You can find them at music equipment places. Models such as the old Alesis 3630 are fairly affordable and can really help with the up and down audio level problem. Low levels are raised and high levels are clipped. Plus, the 3630 has two channels with separate inputs, so you can go stereo or process two separate mono sources individually with separate settings. So if you have a two channel stream, you can process each side. Plus, it looks cool. ;-)

But I'm the feed provider, and I've complained to myself repeatedly to no avail. What I mean is that the radio signals (the voices) from Arcata's & Eureka's repeaters are much louder than those from everybody else's transmitters/repeaters (CHP, Cal-Fire, the local ambulance co's etc), even those whose transmitters are much closer to me. When Arc and Eka transmit, the signal levels go all the way to the right and into the red, so I back them off just enough to keep them from overmodulating, but that causes the other agencies' signals to get maybe 2/3 of the way up.Also there is a setting on most scanners to control this, Please summit a complaint report to that feed provider, sometimes this has helped me.
