Thanks for bumping this post again and making me want to cry from radio envy. I don't watch pr0n for the same reason...

Hello Friends:

Dang!!! Dude what are you complaining about...That is very nice...

I wasn't in anyway complaining, rather I'm looking for guidance/an idea as to how Lindsay connected a certain piece of equipment. I also have the monitoring console and was wondering how he has it connected to his computer.

 

[blantonl]

I don't have my computer audio sent into the NCS - just directs from the radios.

Are you having an issue with the NCS?

 

[weeksben1]

I'm not having any issues with the NCS what so ever, I was simply wondering how you had it setup, since I'm setting up a similar configuration, but I'd also like to have the audio from my PC come out the same speakers. One other question, how do you have the discriminator taps for (and please forgive me if I miss a radio) 6 different radios feeding into only two USB soundcards?

Thanks

HMMM!
I've been wondering about an NCS console purchase myself. I have 5 scanners currently running. Is this thing worth the money?

[blantonl]

It definitely worth the money. ScannerMaster is a new distributor of the unit, so you should consider purchasing from them.

Ben, I've got 3 sound cards that support discriminator taps/audio from the radios. I manually switch them when I need to.

Great question, what does it look like? I my self am in to saving gas so my commuter car is a 1991 GEO Metro with four doors she looks brand new and gets 48 MPG I rebuilt this car from the ground up, she is very hot car with 12" tires less then a $100 for 4 of them, I drive about 80 miles a day, on-board stuff PSR-500 a TOMTOM GO730 gps a 200 watt sound system with MP3 and XM satellite, the tomtom and the PSR have there own amplified speakers, I just need a good laptop on-board with wifi and it would be one of the best Mobile command centers ever seen "LOL" I love this car it just needs AC, cold air. My 2008 silverado never See's the light of day and that's to bad as it has all of the rings and bells but gets 15 mpg. If it could only get 20MPG.

I would, just love to have a iphone but I am with verizon and they do not support a iphone, a lot of guys that I work with have them, they are well very cool, techie but I have four bothers and five sisters my mom and my son all use verizon and the nieces and nephews do to, with a family this size I would have to put in a extra 40 hours a month just to pay the phone bill, Hum maybe I should get them all a iphone for Xmass so I can get one.:lol:

Lindsay,

What brand & model is your black enclosed rack? Nice setup.

 

[FlashSWT]

I'm glad this thread got revived, I meant to ask originally and forgot. Lindsay, could you share which model USB soundcards you're using on thh Mac Pro for the discriminator tap inputs?

 

[baddandy23]

what program are you using to control the 996 via linux? I can't seem to find any for my 396...

 

[ka3jjz]

Not to go too off topic here, but both BCTool and FreeScan are supposed to work in Linux under WINE;

http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/BcTool

http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/FreeScan_User_Guide

The user guide isn't quite finished yet but it's more than good enough to give you a good feel for the program. And both are freeware

Nice!!

 

[safetyobc]

I think the greatest thing about this set up..... is the Mac's!

Sorry! I am an Apple Fanboy too! Love my Macbook Pro. My wife begged me not to buy it. After I got it, she went and bought her a Macbook. LOL.

The Mac Pro you have is a work horse! Geez I'd love to have one of those!
