My new hobby. I have Indian River County Florida loaded from Sentinel software but still not sure that I have all options available.
One question, when listening to my SDS200, I get current fire/medic transmissions Only, but online streaming with Broadcastify at the same time, I get Sheriff/Police transmissions at an exact 1 hr. delay, so why are these transmissions not coming from my scanner also??
Thanks!

It could be due to encryption, or also internet connection when they put it on Broadcastify

Dang, I was aware of the encryption and delay, which I was OK with, just no one mentioned that it would only be transmitted online thru Broadcastify/RR.
Wow, so I have to have both going to get an idea of what's going on around me. :(
Are there anything else this $700 scanner can be used for, being I've already purchased?? Thanks

You knew it was encrypted, and you still bought a scanner thinking this wouldn't be an issue receiving SO/PD?

Consider yourself lucky that there is a 1 hour delayed feed on Broadcastify. Here in my part of PA, LE is almost all encrypted and there are no agency provided feeds.

Yes, bought knowing encryption/delay here in Vero, Fl. I just thought audio would be available through the scanner also along with other fire/med transmissions. I had also noticed that listening on Broadcastify before purchasing scanner, I was only getting police. I questioned and was informed I would not get all transmissions, that they only broadcast whatever whenever. Also, I'm in another state, city-county half of the year without encryption, so not all bad I guess. At this point I just want to learn more about what I'm doing, being new to this radio scanner as a hobby. Thanks all!
