Central just announced that Citywide-1 will be Manhattan Comms and Citywide-2 will be Brooklyn Comms. Hopefully that’ll clear up the air for New York’s finest.
I'm currently listening to CW1 and keep hearing someone (I think command?) say "officers check your portables ...(open carry?)" followed by some sort of loud chirp. Does anyone know what this means? Google didn't turn up anything
I have chosen to temporarily keep the SOD feed offline, here is the status message I have displaying on the feed:
Due to the ongoing civil unrest in the 5 boroughs, this feed will remain offline. Due to possible groups using this feed for nefarious purposes I have chosen this course of action.

Good now if they can take down
Citywide1 feed that would help make it safer
THIS! and all the other ones for that matter! Atleast until order is restored.Good now if they can take down

I wish all online scanner broadcasts were shut down. That is what has ultimately killed the hobby in my opinion. Scanning is a niche hobby and for decades we were able to stay under the radar. Now anyone with a smartphone can be a scanner listener, not to mention the media replaying recorded broadcasts.
That and the crap chinese radiosthat one can by from amazon for 25 bucks...
I wonder if privatizing the RadioReference database to users would help that at all...I'm sure the frequencies are out there on other places but I think that a lot of people get the info off here
That is the source of most of the harassment and false calls that plague all critical radio services since that crap became available. The FCC originally ignored and even approved these radios with FPP capability to operate on Public Safety, Marine and Aviation frequencies although prohibited in the Rules. Enforcement of marketing of this crap has been weak to non-existent. No need to steal a radio to cause havoc when you can buy one on eBay or Amazon for a few bucks that you can program to target any communications system.That and the crap chinese radios that one can by from amazon for 25 bucks...
