Gauging interest in new feed for Philly area

[phillydjdan]

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, you can move it if you like. I think it pertains to Pennsylvania, so I'm putting it here.

I currently have 2 feeds running on here, Lower Bucks County Fire and Eastern Delaware County Fire. Each runs from a different location (Lower Bucks from Northeast Philly, Eastern Delco from the Collingdale area).

I am working on a setup that would combine all of my personal listening radios into one audio source via a sound mixer. At this time I monitor Philly Fire on a PSR-800, Bucks Fire on a VHF analog radio, Eastern Montco Fire on a Pro-197, and Delaware County Fire on a UHF analog radio. I will then be transmitting all of this on an FM frequency via a low power FM transmitter so that I can monitor all of this anywhere in my home via a small FM tuner and earphones.

While talking to a friend about this setup, I thought of maybe streaming it on RR (or, rather, Broadcastify once it's launched). If I did that, the Lower Bucks Fire Feed would have to be changed to accommodate the new feed, and the Eastern Delco Feed would be removed. If this feed were changed, it would be all fire radio traffic, with the left channel carrying Eastern Delco and Eastern Montco, and the right channel carrying Philly and Lower Bucks. So the question is, would you as the listener like to see this feed put in place or should I just leave the Lower Bucks feed alone?

As of right now the mixer is connected and running, but only through a pair of headphones at the moment. If there isn't much activity, it's easy to monitor, but if the area see a lot of fire activity at once (during storms, etc) I can see it getting quite hectic to listen to.

I'd like some input (preferably from those who monitor the feeds in the Philly area. Your comments are welcome.

The feed is now changed, and now streams lower bucks, eastern montco, and philly fire.

Doesn't sound like this one will get as crazy as the Tri-County feed does at times. For me living in a different part of the state I approve of the combination as long as it stays fire-EMS only and doesn't add in any PD. I think I'll browse over to the feed now and give it a listen for a while.

 

[phillydjdan]

Yeah, that's the point. I totally understand that things get hectic, and I would be the first one to turn such a feed off if I were listening. That's why I'm only streaming the fire side of things. If I added police of EMS you'd never be able to follow a conversation.

 

[One13Truck]

Not bad! I listened for a while before I hit the bed. I'll certainly pop in now & then when the mood hits to browse around the different part of the state. It's added to my list to check in on.

Feed back on recent changes to lower bucks feed

Just wanted to provide some feedback on the recent addition of the Philly feed to the previous standalone LB repeater. Although the Philly feed provides pretty much non stop chatter, the LB feed is getting over shadowed. since the addition I have been listening to some of the other bucks county feeds, but they include, police chatter which is endless at times or other chatter, i.e. hunterdon cty, north band, etc.

I really liked it the way it was, since my area of interest has been LB fire. If something is going on else where in the county I can always switch feeds. I really liked it the way it was before. Hoping you will reconsider changing it back...

 

[phillydjdan]

Well, since so many people voiced their displeasure both on this thread and through other channels, I have decided to take it down completely. I cannot change the settings and still have everything operate the way I want it to for my personal listening at home. The audio that was fed to RR is the same audio fed into an FM transmitter so I can hear it throughout my house. My personal listening comes before RR. So now I will just broadcast it in my home and let my feed computer rest. Feel free to enjoy my Eastern Delaware County Fire feed in the mean time.

Bummer but at least the Eastern Delco one is still up. I like listening to that one now & then as well.

Like to have Montco PD region 7 (Plymouth & Whitemarsh) since no one has the feed.
