Hi folks,
Wanted to give a brief update on the Broadcastify Calls project. It is coming along nicely and performance and features/functionality are exceeding expectations for sure. Our ability to directly couple the project with the RadioReference Database is really going to revolutionize how we capture and monitor radio systems.
This latest update lets you know what all live talkgroup and frequency functions have been completed and are working great. We've also pushed out a lot of bug fixes.
This is a current list of systems online capturing calls from different trunked and conventional systems around the country:
Calls System Status
We've also rolled out a coverage browser which collects into a single browsable tree all captured frequencies and talkgroups, grouped by location and service tag. Because we might have multiple people capturing the same thing, and our system automatically drops duplicates, we can present a single window of everything captured in the system regardless of who actually captures it.
You can browse and click through to each entry to listen directly here
Broadcastify Calls Coverage
We've also added statistics graphs, archives support, etc. The real final major thing to develop is user defined custom playlists where users can build their down playlists of frequencies and talkgroups across multiple systems and locations seamlessly. That is coming soon. In the meantime, we've got some test playlists which demonstrate the functionality.
Broadcastify Calls Playlists
Also, we are ready to onboard anyone who wants to contribute calls or build an ingest system. You can follow the instructions here, and you'll have to submit a support request but we'll get you approved ASAP and quickly.
Coming soon are better features for the live playing (advance forward and playback options etc) as well as the custom playlists, and we'll simplify the onboarding of new systems with forms and API keys being issued shortly. But in the meantime, if you want to get started sending to us, email us at support@radioreference.com and follow the instructions in the previous link and we'll get you going ASAP.
Thanks,
