alpha tags

How come you can't access other special characters ( | : ; ' ", ! etc...) in text tags of systems/sites, groups, or channels when programming in the scanner or with programming software on every uniden made scanner except the homepatrol series, and the only way to add them to your text tags is...

I am currently planning on using a UV-5R for a Broadcastify feed and am wondering if I could use a standard headphone audio jack cable plugged into the Boafeng speaker mic and the PC's Mic input or would I use the programming cable running to the PC's USB. I am currently using Scanner cast for...

Hi Folks. I use darkice on Linux for my stream. I have also recently written some custom software to get the current channel number data out of the radios and generate an alpha tags string. I can update my own Icecast2 based streaming server's metadata by calling the admin API URL and can see...

I've been running a Broadcastify feed for about 6 months using an old scanner and Windows 10 laptop running Scannercast. The feed was rock solid, with virtually no downtime. With the summer fire season approaching, I decided to upgrade my scanner to a WS1065 so that it could send alpha tags...

I have several scanner and ham radios, but none that have Alpha Tags. I have had a feed for some time but only used ScannerCast in audio only mode. Is there an up-to-date selection guide? A example is a BCD996P2 that appears to have replaced the BCD996T, but appears not to have all the updates...

:confused: Greetings all, I have a question regarding alpha tags on a Broadcastify feed. I currently stream the Seattle Fire feed on Broadcastify (the "Broadcasting Alpha Tags" option is selected), using a Uniden BC346XT scanner (latest firmware 1.05.00) connected to a computer running Windows...

Hey all, I was wondering if there is a way to broadcast alpha-tags over my feed broadcast. I know there isn't an option for it but in RadioFeed there is a whole slew of scanners listed that can broadcast tags and I was wondering if any other scanners can emulate my BC246T so I can provide...

Is there a way to broadcast AlphaTags in ScannerCast using a Uniden BCD536HP?? I've downloaded the serial port files, rebooted my computer, even set the scanner in serial mode & set the Tag setting at the 996XT choice, even saw something about Windows Device Manager up checking the UBS root hub...

Is there a way to program Radio Unit ID alpha tags into the 346xt in an EDACS Standard system? I have a list of all the Radio IDs and their alpha tags, and I see that I can have the numeric ID show up by going to Menu - Settings - Disp. Unit ID. I'm wondering if I can add the alpha tags to this...

Question about bookmarking feeds in WinAmp. It seems like most of the time, when I do it, the title is usually Radioreference.com or some variation, and never what the feed is. I can go in an edit the bookmark, to the correct title, but then when I play it in the playback screen it still gives...

I have noticed recently that Alpha Tags have been appearing on the Roscommon County list, I'am curious where these came from and the accuracy of them. I have been monitoring this county for about 14 years and at a loss to explain them. Thanks In Advance Dennis
