I am looking for people In the USA to BROADCAST LIVE SCANNER FEEDS.

and to also web dispatch in your free time for http://www.incidentnewsalerts.com/app/rewards.php
INA is a USA wide paging system. That sends alerts to pagers and mobile devices. Of MVA,Fires, Svr WX alerts,etc...

Or just Listen to live feeds with Teamspeak

If you do decide to dispatch or broadcast live, please use "M0411" as a referral

I'v been scanner monitoring since 1978. Love it

Hmmm

HeHe, I would not mind one of the prizes on your page:

8500 BC996T OR BC396T SCANNER

I would like one of those to hear Westmoreland County, PA and just because they do APCO-25, but I'm not paying $500 especially when APCO-25 is not extremely popular right now, at least not in my area or any of the places I want to scan.


Like I said before, are you sure they are blacklisted, I connected and heard them fine.

I still get an error telling me the server is blacklisted. I cant connect.
INB is back up and working other people are able to login and listen.

I trust that dispatchers are listening to their own scanners, and not taking up slots on Teamspeak Servers or other feeds that are for use by hobbyists. If someone is using my free feeds to dispatch for a service that charges subscribers a monthly fee, and I discover it (as I have a few times), they'll be banned.

Other than that, best of luck with your endeavor.

My thoughts exactly. However, I have a feeling what you say is happening and happening a lot. I know some folks who seem to get a lot of pages of incidents happening here in Memphis, and they're not coming from me. I think it's wrong to listen to someone's feed and help a paid service.

I tend to agree that it's wrong to use someone's feed to send out alerts that will put money into someone's pocket unless they ask permission from the feed owner. The people that are sending out the alerts are not getting paid directly, however they are being given a type of dispatcher reward toward prizes based on the number of alerts sent. Perhaps what one could do is to place something on their website or feed description stating that you prefer to only have your feed available for private use. Any other use is strictly prohibited.

Another reason that it would be good practice to get permission from the feed owner is in case they had placed the feed online so their dispatching group could use it for a particular alerting service. Most people would get rather angry if they put their feed online for company 'A' only to find out that company 'B' has a few dispatchers that are using the feed to help promote a competing alerting service.

On the other side of the coin, the people that subscribe to the alerting services such as IPN and INA are wanting to know what is happening in their area. This does include news services but it also includes the average Joe that just wants to be able to bring the kids inside if someone is running down the street shooting people at random. I fall under the latter as I believe that it's better to be forewarned when something is happening that could put my family at risk. I am a dispatcher so I am able to get the benefit of getting the alerts for my area sent to a wireless device. But I also feel that we need to dispatch alerts with integrity and avoid any practice that can make our dispatching team as well as the company that we are associated with look bad in the public eye.
