New broadcaster in my area already broadcasting what I am????

[perry_kansas]

I just noticed that the following user ( eDispatches ) is broadcasting in my county as of today 2-4-2016, I have been broadcasting POLICE / FIRE / EMS since 2011

This NEW Feed provider is only broadcasting ( Fire / EMS ) which I am also broadcasting!!

When I looked at the profile they have LOTS AND LOTS of feeds!!!!!

What am I missing here and how are they doing it if they are not from my area???

They are a company that sells a service to fire departments that takes there dispatch audio and compresses it into a file and sends it to there app and as a text message when a department is toned out. Part of the subscription is a unit to send the agency's feed to there servers

HOW are they getting the audio from my county??? Is there somebody ( IN ) my county that is a feed provider like I am with a ACTUAL SCANNER hooked up to a computer then uploading??

Yes sir that is correct when an agency signs up with them they provide the agency with the equipment to interface a radio or scanner to send the audio to them

Moved to Kansas forum as this has nothing to do with the RadioReference Database.

So they are contracting with the agency and taking credit (i.e. eligible for the provider benefits) for what should be listed as an official feed?
