SRRCS P25 Broadcastify Calls Node

I noticed it looks like only primary law TGs. Do you know if BCFY will allow multiple Calls nodes for the same system if we wanted the entire SRRCS on a node?

I don't know the answer for sure, but I see other systems that have multiple nodes from the same site on the Calls platform so I think the answer is yes.

Obviously, if you have more than one person who wants to feed the same site you could work together to decide who will send what.

Maybe one sends county one sends city?
One sends fire, one sends police??
Etc...

This could also help if one node picks up a transmission that the other misses for some reason. I do know that the Calls platform is able to filter out duplicate transmissions that are sent in. This happens a lot with statewide radio systems that are carrying the same traffic on multiple sites.

Ya'll just both send everything and back each other up...

I don't think THEY (Broadcastify) have a huge issue with it, but that will take a bit of processing. Using SDRTrunk, it is not a problem with seeing ALL of the talkgroups taking place. In order to obtain audio from a talkgroup, SDRTrunk sends the stream to its JMBE process, which converts the transmitted stream into audio. This takes some processing power to decode. In the SRRCS Countywide Site, it is not unusual for 20 simultaneous talkgroups to be active. That means that up to 20 simultaneous processes are needed to transcode these into audio streams, converting them to WAV or MP3 streams. I do not know exactly how much processing power, I just know it is a lot.
