Hi all,
I've lurked here for a while, typically when trying to find out what happened to the AACO feed that went away about a year ago. I decided that I should try to give back a bit by reinstating that feed if I can. I live in Western AA County and used to jump to that feed when I heard a helicopter circling or other indications that made me want to be aware of what was happening around me.
I hope that this is the correct place to post this and ask for your help. I have a high speed internet connection and a computer that I leave on and connected 24 x 7. I don't have a scanner however. I'd be willing to make the investment in a scanner and the required accessories that would allow me to supply the Western, Northern and Eastern sector feeds if that could be done for under $500.
Is that a reasonable goal? I don't have any recent experience with radios but I was a Navy ET many years ago and have a fairly decent level of competence in computer HW and SW. I would likely need some assistance in choosing the correct scanner and then feeding the output to the Internetz.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and guidance.
