    Heard this a few years ago on the scanner and grabbed a recording of it. Man got a ring stuck on his male organ, in his car, in a church parking lot.

    RadioFeed Raspberry Pi 3 with RTL_Airband NFM

    Nevermind. Apparently I wasn't waiting long enough for my existing feed to shut down. Now it's connected. Thanks!

    RadioFeed Raspberry Pi 3 with RTL_Airband NFM

    Currently running an old Raspberry Pi 1 with a scanner and USB sound card. I'd like to move to a Raspberry Pi 3 with an RTL_SDR dongle. I've been tinkering with using RTL_Airband with NFM support to stream the weather radio and ham radio repeaters. It works fine on my local test Icecast setup...

    Notifications that my feeds are down, but they are not

    I received the notifications on my feeds as well. However, I didn't receive any notifications from my own monitoring software so figured it was an issue with RR notifications.

    Stereo feed with RTL-SDR dongles on Raspberry Pi?

    I currently run a stereo stream with regular scanners and a USB sound card on a Raspberry Pi B+. One scanner goes to the left channel and the other goes to the right channel. It works fine but would like to eventually eliminate the scanners (lower power consumption, less cords, etc) and use...

    Raspberry Pi Broadcasting Stereo Feed On Both Channels

    I'm using this sound card on my Raspberry Pi to stream a stereo stream. http://amzn.com/B000KW2YEI I have 2 - BC350A's hooked up to it, one on the left and one on the right channel. I didn't have much luck with the cheap USB sound cards and the stereo stream.

    Stereo Feed vs. Second Feed

    I use a stereo stream on my feed. However, it's for 2 ham radio repeaters which isn't as chaotic as PD/FD/EMS traffic so it works well.

    Scanner feed using Rasberry Pi ?

    I ended up ordering the Behringer UCA202 sound card from Amazon for $30. It works fine with the Pi but does not have recording controls in alsamixer. I just adjust the audio on the scanners and it works fine. Nice to have a stereo feed working without having to use my old power guzzling PC. :)

    Scanner feed using Rasberry Pi ?

    Stereo feed on Pi? Has anyone found a USB sound card for the Pi that has a stereo input for use with running a stereo feed? I'm wanting to move my stereo feed off the PC onto a Pi but seems all the cheap USB sound cards have mono inputs. Is it possible to use 2 of these sound cards and route...

    BC350A squelch issue

    That seems to have done the trick. Going on 24 hours and the squelch noise *knock on wood* has not come back. Thanks for the tip!

    Well the problem came back after awhile. Maybe heat related? Any ideas?

    BC350A squelch issue

    I have 2 of these BC350A's that I use for a scanner stream. I noticed recently the squelch is stuck open on one of them and turning the squelch knob does not fix it. I tried different frequencies in different bands and it's the same on all of them. Even unplugging the antenna doesn't fix it, so...
