You need a compatible scanner to be able to stream your area.
GRE and UNIDEN makes compatible radios to do this.

all i would be streaming is uhf. county/city law, county fire, city fire, and other law/fire channels, all of which are uhf.
what software would i need for the stream anyway?
gewecke, what is the "i.f."?
He doesn't need the IF to stream audio. All he needs is the regular audio output. If the radio has a speaker-mic connector, that would be a great place to pull it...he just needs to make sure it's isolated from the soundcard input.
Here is a good place to read about streaming for RadioReference (on the right side of the page in the yellow box)
Live Audio - The RadioReference Wiki
I suggested the I.F. because it's a constant signal source and A.F. is not. The audio output of his talkie is around 500mw and may be to "hot" for the sound card input. Also the I.F. is not influenced by the volume control, he can set it loud or not and his stream to the internet would not be distorted.

Isn't IF (Intermediate frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) in the RF stage of the radio, not the audio stage? The IF is generally well above the audio frequency range. For example, the GRE PSR-500 has three IF stages. The first IF is at 380.8 MHz, the second IF is at 21.4 MHz and the third IF is at 455 kHz.
Aren't you actually talking about the "baseband audio" such as that available from a discriminator tap (http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Discriminator_output)? That would provide the audio pre-filtered and unaffected by the volume control.
Tired, long day! Yeah...discriminator output,not i.f.
that's the bugger lol!
My mistake.
