I was too lazy to look😉🥱 and figured the OP would know.🫤

No, RISCON is not powered by Broadcastify. Broadcastify is just the delivery platform for listening to the system. When a DEC talkgroup is blue in the database, that indicates that the talkgroup has been captured by the Broadcastify Calls platform in the last few hours. All Brocastify Calls nodes and traditional feeds are provided by volunteers (like me).

See this post from Lindsay Blanton on why a feed/calls node may be offline:
Why is this feed offline? Why did a feed get deleted? How do I report a problem?

It looks like RISCON is provided by 2 Nodes and they both havent seen activity for 1 day. For this issue, I recommend reporting this problem to the node owner to see if they can resolve the issue as explained in the post above.

could you private message me. It appears I cannot start one

 

[BrandonLandry]

The feeds are back up.

 

[bigbearman]

Thank you

I know this is off topic, but nowhere else to reply. It seems like an honest request with no evil intent. Also my former comment about being very lazy was a true assessment in not looking up simulcast which I should have done and again not taking myself too seriously,(note the emoji) but I guess I will have to watch my humor. This is a rough audience.
Ok, it appears like those who reacted to these posts and myself are all in elementary school and you have a secret so maybe one or all of you could let me in on the joke either privately or here. I must be totally naive or stupid or both. You are all welcome to agree with that last sentence but a simple explanation for a simple mind would be appreciated so I can sit back and say “Thanks, I get it”!
Back on topic, I am glad the feed is back up and I will continue to offer my help, advice and experience to all those who might want it as I did in this post and many others.

First I want to thank you for being honest. Next if you look at it from my end, I had no idea how things worked on the Broadcastify/Radioreference/RISCON/ others. No clue there are Node owners that are volunteers, or even what a Node is. Finding out so much on this forum gave me hope about the system and how it works. With a little better understanding now as opposed to the other day, I am thankful there are so many talented folks out here. Thank you for the support.

Believe me, we never stop learning and I learn something new here and elsewhere everyday. Just enjoy the hobby!

Thanks for the 2 who reacted.
A fact of life…In most conversations, the lack of response and silence is all one needs
to know.
Believe me , I know this is a very unimportant and minuscule concern over dislikes or responses etc.on my part. But there has been more than one time I have not received the courtesy of an answer or reply to a question or comment especially a private message.
I will now go elsewhere and react or comment positively, use appropriate humor, help where I can, try to continue to elevate this great hobby, hope to receive an answer to any honest questions I have, hope that people honestly explain and tell me “face to face” if I am in error and an idiot(I can take it!) and admit when and if I am wrong.
”A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.”


Everyone, enjoy the day and this hobby!📻👍😀

Old man wisdom, pay no attention the the "reactions". I get "likes", "sad faces", "angry faces" and "thumbs down" and everything else and don't really give a crap. But if this is the worst thing in your life that you have to fret over then I'm very happy for you.

 

[a727469]

Thanks, KevinC..Exactly ..agree 100% ..consider the sources.

I hope it is ok to ask I haven't been on these forums in years but what happened to the Providence Police and surrounding area live scanner feed??? i been listening to the police scanner since i was 16 now I'm in my 60's can't afford the high-priced digital scanners so the live feed was so helpful I listened every night..i still have my old radio shack scanner from years ago but that doesn't bring in much

 

[a727469]

I will ignore of the above posts, but will make a suggestion. I could not find Prov pd either but if you are interested, much activity elsewhere in RI is available on

OpenMHz

openmhz.com

I would suggest limiting reception by using the filters in openmhz.

If you need help you can private message me.

"What happens now? Am I screwed not being able to listen?"

This is the difference between relying on others to provide audio for you (Broadcastify) and buying your own radios to monitor local radio traffic. If you were to purchase a scanner (Uniden SDS-100/200 or Unication Pager) then you could monitor local radio traffic 24/7 and not be reliant on others.

If you'd like there is a live feed on Zello I can share the link with you if you'd like.

what is zello?? and what live feed please

 

[KB1UAM]

It's a 2 way radio application. Just search it in your app store. Create a free profile and then private message me and I will help you out from there

 

[a727469]

Maine has a wiki listing for feeds. Not sure about RI or other states

Public Zello Feeds (ME) - The RadioReference Wiki
