Oh, I never knew I could stream on this site, but I'll definitely check it out. Thank you. The reason I wanted to use Zello is because I read on the net how it can be done, tried it, and it worked. So I figured why not share it with others, but now knowing about this it might actually work and sound better than Zello.
Yes, encryption decoding would be very bad, but I don't have that capability to do it so it won't be a problem for me LOL. I'm glad to hear it's a right of citizens, but I guess I better check it out with Zello, although Zello isn't always very helpful unless you use 'Zello Work' which costs money, quite a bit of money. I always come here for answers because you guys respond so quickly and have way more knowledge about radio communications than me. Thank you for the info.
Well, I would like to start a feed but I just got a response from another member with a website saying you need special permission to rebroadcast certain transmissions including public safety. So I'm kind of uncertain as to whether or not to even try.
A quick check of the Broadcastify main page shows that they claim over 5000 feeds. Probably at least 80-90% of those are public safety feeds from people who just do it without consulting any attorney. Just saying...
Make sure you read the Terms Of Servive....No Guts No Glory...
More than likely to play it safe I'll just set it up as my personal password protected channel. Even that might be illegal but at least it's not being broadcasted to other people.
It is not illegal if it was there would not be over 5000 feeds on broadcastify alone.
I looked into it last night but it's kind of hard to follow because it's public safety I'm looking to broadcast. It seemed like there were many TOS. I'll read it over again and try to get a better understanding, but I'm thinking I'll probably just use the Zello channel for my own password protected use. It's not quite what I was looking for but at least I'll be able to play around with it on my cellphone. I won't give up because I really do want to share it. As always I thank you guys for all your advice.
Wow 5000, that's a lot of feeds. As I've told the other members I'm going to read the TOS more closely because I really do want share it with other people. I know I'd want someone to do it for me.
So many differing opinions. I guess the only way to know for sure is to check Broadcastify's TOS and Zello's TOS. Zello is not very helpful for its free version but I'll try anyway.
