CPHM EMS hasn't been a VAC for a while, lol.

I have an entire county with about 60 tones split over 2 instances of TTD on an 9 year old 2.6GHz Pentium 4 with 2GB RAM running WinXP It has 4 scanners and 3 sound cards because it also is streaming a stereo feed to RR. Because I use mailing lists on a webserver to distribute the messages...

Done, thanks.

I have been sending text messages to phones via my domain rcfirewire.com. All of a sudden, Sprint and Verizon MMS servers have been blocking the texts due to the "sending MTA's poor reputation," i.e. they think it is spam. Anyone else run into this, and how did you get it unblocked? Thanks.

Yup, ignore_after works in V59 just like V58.

Actually, I had the opposite problem - wasn't working on the Soundblaster PCI card, but is working fine on the internal card. (I also tried a cheap USB card, but then it wasn't picking up the low tones.) Who knows, as long as it is working. :-)

It was random... no real rhyme or reason. Happened about half the time. V59a. It is a dedicated computer running 3 sound cards (1 internal, 2 PCI). I had the feed on the internal card and the two scanners for TTD on the PCI cards. I switched the two scanners that I have running for TTD, and...

Btonedebounce is basically how often the program checks the tone to make sure it's valid. (i.e. 4 times every 250ms at baseline, I think). The higher the number, the more it checks. This is supposed to reduce false/"phantom" pages... but the higher the number, the more likely it can check too...

Sorry for the confusion.. actually both. Was happening on the same broadcast frequency - even within the same page when 2 tones were stacked, the recording triggered by one of the tones was fine, the second was garbled. It is also happening on a second broadcast frequency (the scanner is only...

So I am running into a odd problem... intermittently the recorded audio is sounding all garbled. It's occurring on the exact same frequency, with the exact same scanner (RS Pro 404) hooked up to the exact same sound card (Sound Blaster Audigy SE) through the Line In. I even put in a ground...

Oops. typing too slow. :-)

Based on the pic, the ffmpeg is a 7z file - which is a compressed file like a zip file. You need to unpack the ffmpeg out of the archive file. And to hide all the email addresses, click on the "Edit Config" menu and click the "BCC email recipients" box.

Andy, I've upgraded to v59a, and so far no problems with page detection... the only thing is the "Control Scanner" function doesn't seem to work anymore... In the config file Control Scanner = 1, but in the GUI, the box is not checked (and checking it and saving it does not keep it checked)...

No sorry, that is not possible... You could check with the volunteer broadcaster to see if s/he would be willing to have separate feeds for fire, ems, police, etc... but each separate feed would require their investment in a separate scanner and sound card on the computer, so talking about...

79 did use Region 2 to communicate with County re: ALS (i.e. requesting when not initially dispatched or canceling), or when going mutual aid into an adjoining jurisdiction dispatched by County, but that's about it. -Former 47-C3

Andy, Once again, thanks for a great program. Works great, though I am having trouble with it crashing a lot... I know others have said it may freeze after a few days, but I am getting about 6 hours out of it... Randomly it gets a page and freezes - states not responding. Using v58b on Windows...

Cool, thanks. As far as EMS support, I had considered it... My thoughts were - 1) the paging scanner is scanning 3 different frequencies looking for tones. While it is on one frequency recording a page, it can miss pages on the other frequencies if they go out at the same time. Since there...

Both Erie (Erie County Fire Wire) and Monroe Counties (Monroe County Fire Wire) have "Fire Wires" - news sites about fire incidents in the county.... I recently started one for Rensselaer County - http://www.rcfirewire.com

Both a BCD396T and 996T

Hi Andy, First of all, thanks for a great program. Second of all, quick question - there is no way to set the record length per tone set is there? If not, can I make a feature request? For most pages, a short record time is sufficient, but for one of the municipal fire departments I need it...
