Hi everyone,
I've been using a custom software rig to pull in the stuff I want to listen to, which is mostly the Santa Clara city system. I went this route because just using my standalone scanner wasn't cutting it. First, they rebanded and my scanner won't follow it, and second because of the obvious problem of missing overlapping calls. I don't want to miss out on a fire call just because the police are working something at the same time.
So I see people talking about wanting (for instance) more San Jose PD coverage, or split coverage of the SCCSO frequencies (P25 and all) and now I'm in a quandry. On the one hand, I could start throwing hardware and software at the problem. On the other hand, it costs real money to buy these things, develop the systems, and keep them running.
I guess I'm not sure if there is critical mass to drive this sort of thing. If people are generally happy with the current state of affairs in terms of available feeds, then it seems status quo will rule.
Or am I all wrong?
