I am not receiving station alerts on 453.650, which I guess is now Ch 7, from the available feed on Broadcastify. Is it possible to select a new feed that hopefully would be broad casting the statrion alerts on Broadcastify?
Thanks

Use Zello channel BFD-5
As you know you can put in a scanner but I also use a Minitor 5 voice pager to monitor
BPD Ch 5 453.650. I also have it in a Minitor 6. If your interested 462.975 Boston EMS is REAL busy 24/7.

OK, need some help here. I am not familiar with Zello or how to implement it.
BEMS TAC-1 (462.975) is very busy (500 calls/day average,) but with the ongoing radio work it's not a guarantee. I get two or three pages a week notifying that we are switching to another TAC channel for Citywide operations and then another page when we switch back. Eventually, it will all result in a P25 system, but if you're not monitoring all BEMS channels, you'll miss a lot. At least it has gotten better than a few months ago when we were switching multiple times a day.
Thanks Citywide for the info I noticed also that they have been jumping around a lot also.
Not looking forward to when Boston changes up to P25 or what ever. Its one of the last big city
systems you can still listen to on a regular scanner.

OK, did some research and got Zello installed on my Android and added the BFD-5 channel. It works. Is there a Zello for PC? I am not interested in the Walkie-Talkie feature. Just would like to use Zello as I use Broadcastify on my PC.

There is a pc version.
Could you kindly provide me a link to a version that will work on a PC? I downloaded what I thought was a workable version but in trying to create an account, it asked me for my "Network Name". Couldn't proceed as I had no idea what my Network Name would be.
Thanks

Did you look at the Zello web site ??
Zello | Download the free app
Get the Zello app for iPhone, Android, desktop, Mac, PC, or Windows. Download now and stay connected with Zello - the leading push-to-talk app. Visit us today.
Yes, this is the same app I previously downloaded from Zello, but as I prerviously mentioned, I could not set up an account because of the required "Network Name" for which I have no knowledge of. What is Zello looking for in the "Network Name"? I tried entering my routers ID but that didn't work.

.Never had to put in Network it was user ID and Password
Account Sign In - Zello
my.zello.com
When you download the desktop app from the link shown in your post, the installation requires a network name to use the service.
Edit to add ------> And if you enter a network name of your choosing, it will tell you that the network is suspended or that the network name is not registered with their service.

You can't sign in from that page unless you already have an account. There is no link there to create an account except to download the app that requires a network name.
@miata54 Use the name and password that you already use for your Android app at the link ecps92 gave in his post #13.

In my previous post, I mentioned that I was successful in installing Zello and adding the channel BFD-CH5 for Boston dispatching. It has been working very well for the last 3 days until last night when I noticed a lack of activity for this very busy channel. I checked the app in my phone and noticed that the small green circle icon in the lower right hand corner of thr BFD insignia icon had changed from a green dot to a question mark. Checking further in the channel, the app said I was connected but I was still not receiving any transmissions. The message next to the owners BFD icon says "Awaiting Authorization". No idea what is going on here as it has been working just fine. Any thoughts?
Make sure you have the Zello Free app and not the Zello Work app.
Finally got it sorted out by downloading/installing the Zello Legacy PC app. Thanks for everyones suggestions.
