I been checking the Radio Shack web site for the last few months waiting for their scanners to go on sale again. Well almost all of them are on sale. The sale ends December 24th and I do not get my SS money until December 26th.
It looks like I will have to wait until the after Christmas sale. Smile
What I want to do and I am not sure I can even do it with the Internet bandwidth I have now... I want to hook up a radio scanner.
Above is the Radio Shack PRO-2055 1000 channel Triple-Trunking Scanner. The normal price is $199.99 but it on sale now for $149.99 until December 24th.
What I want to do is run the scanner and feed the audio out on my web site. So you could listen to air, police, fire, Coast Guard and other transmissions. I would also have some video to go with it. I think it would be fun.
I have done it a bit in the past. It is funny I seem to find it harder to send out audio than I do video.
I have paid for the software and have the cables that will let me program and control the scanner via the computer. It was for a Radio Shack scanner that I had before but it will work with the PRO-2055.
I will get the project done sometime.
I think I will put the audio feed on CQ CQ de NØUWY when I get the scanner. I may tie it in with my web cam. It should be a fun project.
