Adding additional frequencies

[rclegion]

I want to add more freq to my stream , people want to hear Ambulance Dispatch along with the FD I already stream , do I have to go thought the TOS authorization again with broadcastify before adding more freq to the stream , I have sent in a request for help but not have heard from them yet about adding a couple of freq . Thanks

The simple answer is no. As long as your feed is operating within TOS and you include all the frequencies/talkgroups you are broadcasting in your feed description. If you want to change the primary description (title) of your feed or the counties that it covers, that requires a help submission so admin staff can make that change. Mostly everything else is able to be changed by the feed provider, again as long as it is within TOS.

Any changes to the feed, such as adding TGs or Freqs must be approved

Ok thanks one other person says that " Any changes to the feed, such as adding TGs or Freqs must be approved " however I trust you know more about this and will add the TG to my feed just was worried my stream would be removed if I did something wrong . Thanks again Deziel0485

I don't believe that is correct, but if it is, I apologize.

Listed on the help tab of your feed owner's page:

Examples include changing the feed's primary description, adding or removing assigned counties/locations, or other requests that the audio administration staff can address.

Staff can't do much other than change your feed notes if you add/remove frequencies or talkgroups. You can do that yourself. I do not believe staff keeps track of what feed cover's what. It is the feed providers' responsibility to ensure their feed remains within TOS even if adding/removing from your scan list.

After reading what you posted, I might be wrong, but my understanding was that notice of changes were required. I think that came up during the 2020 protests, when providers were adding otherwise permitted channels carrying protest responses and @blantonl sent out an email.

And, while staff don't keep track, it covers the provider in case of listener complaints.

Either way, I suggest checking. If the OP hasn't gotten a response seek clarification by sending an email to support@radioreference.com.

I thank you for your answer to my question it is appreciated . I have added these freq on the advice of Deziel00496 but I will also ask for clarification via the email you mentioned as well as wait for the reply on my Help question , a lot of effort and $ goes into providing the feeds and I want to make sure I am doing it right . Thanks again N1GAW and Deziel0495 for your input and advice .
