Multi-channel monitoring from single scanner?

[radio10-8]

I am trying to use a single scanner to listen to several channels at once. I am NOT looking for a priority channel scan function that can cut off transmissions midway through. Basically i would like to have the two or three audio sources all at once similar to how you can multi select on a centra com console. Any ideas?

buy extra scanners.

That is my problem, I have too many scanners in the car, garage, attic and at work so I want to consolidate them.

A console can multi-select multiple radios in order to pass the audio through from multiple channels. You would need multiple scanners fed into a console with the same capability.

I like your idea but not sure of a solution with what you currently own. You could buy a console...

How about a 4- or 8-channel audio mixing board? Consolidate the traffic to left/right speakers etc. in a stereo feed. I didn't have a mixer but used the audio output from two scanners and pushed it into a microwatt FM transmitter. Used a desktop shortwave radio in the living room to listen to the FM feed. When company came over or was on the phone, I could turn it off/down. My two cents...

The only way to receive multiple channels is to have multiple receivers. If all are analog, there are a number of amateur transceivers that have two receivers built in.
Scanners to this point are built with one receiver and multiple front ends for different bands. You are just out of luck trying to get it in one package.
You might be able to build something if you are handy with programming small computers like the Raspberry PI and interfacing it with several of the USB TV receivers that some here are turning into SDRs.
There might be a market for something like that set up as a mobile.

I get royalties if anyone here puts one together! ;-)
