Ongoing Changes: Marion Co. MECA System

[delallen]

Tell em to hurry up!!!
It's the only way I can listen to it at work... lol

Forgot to ask... Is anyone else within range of the new MECA P25 system streaming it or willing to set up to stream it? I hope someone can help out while my setup is down. It's very easy to set up a ustream.tv feed; mine was done with a $10 "Web Cam for Dummies" from RadioShack.

EDIT: so much for that plan... no sound card in that server.

Thanks, Jeff, but it'd be easier to just get a cheapo sound card instead. I'll get that done.

I'll add it to my stream but I will probably be taking my stream off line tonight or this weekend as I plan to replace all my old rg8 coax with lmr400 coax. I'll have it running again after I get the coax replaced, tested and tweaked.

Sounds like they moved the APC to digital. Or is that just 'test' traffic, too? There's not been a whole lot going on, but a few requests are coming across.

Late shift IMPD all went through an ID check for their radios on digital tonight at 1000, then returned to analog.

Channel 8 did an update on their Meca story from a couple of weeks ago tonight during their 530 news. They mentioned something about a meeting tomorrow between fire chiefs and meca...did anyone see the story...I just caught the end.

I believe the meeting was cancelled. They said there was nothing new to meet about.

I am not clear how this comment fits into the thread topic. That is more of a political comment and although suitable for discussion, it is not suitable in this thread. The last time you made this comment it was deleted for the same reason. Make it again and it will be the last time you get to.
