My local police feed seems to have disappeared (deleted by the host?) is there a way to use the calls database to make a new feed.
I can access local police frequencies on calls. I don't have a scanner to host my own. Was wondering if you could use the calls database as a "scanner"

Sharing what city or agencies you are trying to listen to is important for people to be able to give you a specific answer.

So there are two seperate systems on Broadcastify. A lot of the volunteers that provided the old style traditional feeds are moving to the new Calls system, so it is possible that you may find what you are looking for on the Calls platform. If it is there, than yes it is actually much more powerful and flexible in being able to set it up as a scanner and being able to listen to exactly what you want, where as with the Feeds style, you had to listen to whatever the person hosting the feed was uploading exactly.

If the area or agency you are in doesn't show up in Calls already, then no, you can't create it out of "thin air", it still relies on someone with a physical device to host and upload that system to the Broadcastify servers.
