Feed Provider Since 2012
The feeds are provided by volunteer scanner enthusiasts who use their own personal radios, computers, electricity, and networks at their own cost.
A feed's "quality" could be affected by many things, such as the quality of the signals on the system itself, simulcast issues, location, scanner, antenna, etc. Sometimes it takes a little time for the feed provider to fine tune the equipment.
You are permitted to listen-in free of charge. You can also purchase your own scanner.

Yes thank you. However I live outside the city of Phila so it would not work.
The primary problem with the Philly feed is simulcast distortion. The feed provider is likely using a consumer scanner. Consumer scanners are terrible with simulcast systems in many locations. Just a fact of life at this point. It is a problem with many feeds. In my opinion, many feeds are becoming useless.

The LSM issues are why I ended up getting a non-affiliate XTS-3000 to monitor Philly. If you want a good clear feed go with Philly Fire Feed. It costs $45 a year but you get what you pay for - virtually no delay and no simulcast issues.
Yes, that is a possibility although it ties you to a computer. Also, he does not carry Montco which leaves a big hole in area coverage.
