Yep - the subject says it all.
I've installed a new radio this past weekend that allows people to use one of my scanners via remote control (currently requires Windows OS)
The new radio is an Icom PCR-100 that can monitor frequencies above 30 Mhz. The radio is located on the Nassau / Suffolk County borders.
There are some pre-programmed banks in the radio now that you can toggle on and off. (NYPD, FDNY, NCFD, NCPD, SCFD, SCPD) You can set the volume, squelch, PL, scan, and hold. You can even use the keypad and punch in your own frequency (just 1) to listen to.
So - park it on Brentwood FDvwhen there is something burning in Suffolk, and then punch in Freeport FD if there is a fire there! - move it to Nassau PD 4/5 when there is a PD Search in Valley Stream, or move it to 162.550 just to see how it works.
The FAQ document is still a work in progress. I need your questions to put it together.
For information on how to install the software, connect, and all that extra stuff, here is a link: W2LIE.net: Content / Category / Web Radio
Edit:
I did forget to add that I will be making this a "premium" section of my site starting September 1st.
There are several reasons -
1. It cost money for the radio
2. It cost money for the software server
3. It cost money for the additional hardware
4. Serious Users will pay, hopefully keeping the troublemakers away from the radio and pissing in everyone's Cheerios.
5. If this was for personal use, I could have just used my Butel software and VPN, but since I put this on the net for everyone else, it required parts 1 - 3 above.
The pricing is described on my site.
