Several users have posted pics of their "Shack" but most of those are of Ham setups, my "feed station" as I call it is only for the sake of providing my feeds to RR.
RR feed station by ramboton1, on Flickr
My Feed station consists of 3 handheld scanners, a Motorola GP68 hand held radio, connected to 3 thin clients. 2 of the thin clients are Wyse 9150's while the third is a HP T5720. The Wyse units are only capable of pushing one feed each, while the HP is able to push 2 feeds with no problem.
I have a UPS to back up the computers and scanners in case of a power outage.
you will also notice an antenna splitter so that all of the radios share one antenna, and a wifi router directing all of the traffic back into the house to my Uverse router. (all of this is in a shed attached to the house)
While this seems like a lot, I already had the scanners, the GP68 radio was given to me, the rest was purchased on ebay, no one item was over $60. It was a learning experience and fun to get all setup and working.
My Feeds:
Tulare County Sheriff and CHP
Tulare County Sheriff Ch 2
Tulare County Fire
Tulare City Police Dept.
So what does your feed station look like?
