I just started to provide a feed and it has a lot of static. What is the best setup to provide a very cleared feed?

A few questions so folks can help....

1. What scanner and model are you using, or is it SDR
2. What software are you using
3. How is sound connected to software/computer
4. Where is feed hosted and what is url for feed.

just to start.

I am using a sds200 with a 3.5mm male to male audio aux cable into a mic/speaker usb connector. Radiofeed is who i am sending the audio through

Never had any luck getting clean audio out of my sds200 with either the back audio jack or front headphone jack, even though it has the fix for the front panel interference. There is always static and/or a humming/pulsing noise with streaming, headphones, or external speaker.

I use ProScan because I can run audio via the ethernet and it comes over very clean.

Maybe someone familiar with Radiofeed can help you out.

By "static" I take it you mean noise generated from your scanner & PC hardware & not raw unencoded audio emissions from P25, DMR, etc correct? To alleviate the former consider using wifi or ethernet audio versus the mic/speaker output to feed audio for a "cleaner" sound:

RadioFeed Setup Instructions - The RadioReference Wiki

BCD536HP / SDS200 Ethernet Audio Setup

• Ensure the Scanner Type is set to BCD536HP or SDS200.
• Go to the Source Client or Web Server tab.
• Click the Input Sound Device combo box.
• Choose URL.
• Click the URL Setup button.
• Enter the IP address of the scanner. Example: --> rtsp://192.168.1.5/au:scanner.au
• Click the Reconnect button.
• If successful, "TCP Not Connected" and "UDP Not Connected" messages should disappear and "Bytes RX" increment.

Wi-Fi / Ethernet Audio Gain 15 dB option - It's recommended to turn this option on. The audio from the scanner is low and this will increase the level to normal range.
