Calls - Public Playlists Now Available

[One13Truck]

So, I have been providing a public playlist since the beginning and I believe I have tweaked it to be the best it is going to be. It is a conventional analog system. I do have some interference on occasion but it seems to be minimal (or it is a distant transmission that is too weak to pick up any voice). My scanner feed seems to have slightly better reception but not by much. Generally speaking, I think the audio quality is slightly better on the SDR.

I notice my scanner feed usually has 2-3 times more people listening than my Calls feed that has the same agency. If there is a large incident, it is even more than that. I think many people have the scanner bookmarked and don’t realize there is a Calls version of the scanner feed. The point of this post is that I am thinking of discontinuing my scanner feed and only have my Calls feed. The problem I have is that if I do that, I am afraid someone else will come in behind me and start a new feed that could be worse than what I currently provide. Any thoughts on this?

I like using the Calls to create my own playlists to listen to but my biggest issue with it is I need to load the website to do it. I know the app is not really supported and updated anymore but I really wish either the old official Broadcastify app would be updated to allow us to create/listen to Calls or if someone else would create or update an existing app to allow for the calls feature. I think that would increase the amount of listeners to the Calls platform. But then again I’m just a lowly regular feed provider and I slept in my own bed last night, not at a Holiday Inn so YMMV.

EDIT: I see a “similar topic” listed that the Scanner Radio App has this in beta. That’s great news!! Hopefully the beta goes well and this is a full feature ASAP!!!

The Scanner Radio app works great on Android. I use it to listen, and I access the mobile website to make changes to my playlist.

Yeah that's weird. I assumed it was a pro feature.. Maybe it's a beta feature and that's why I have it.

Just FYI - the pro version of the app has been discontinued and is no longer listed in the app stores. That is why it doesn't have the features the regular app does.

Oh.. I had no idea. I still have both installed. Thanks
