Choice of aerial - SCATXHI

Hi all, So I'm looking at getting an aerial for my car scanner. I'm mainly interested in DFES, so something that covers the 160MHz range is important. As 160 is my main interest, I was advised that I could get a VHF high band antenna and trim it correctly. Mobileone have the SCATXHI http://www.mobil...

I'm still working on it, but you can get the command channel on the Northam stream.

Re: Multiple streams from one SDR

Now I need some time to sort out splitting the audio.
Northam on left, Simplex on right of Northam feed
Toodyay on left, Air-Ops on right of Toodyay feed.

and when it is all really quiet, everything together (Winter mode?)

Multiple streams from one SDR

This post is to pick up the discussion that started in the Streaming DFES Audio Announcement. Yorky, to the surprise of both of us, this was achieved simply, and on windows! Having said that, I do want to get it working on Linux.... As you and Gavin are both interested, I thought I'd post my story h...

Re: Streaming DFES scanner audio

OK, So I've been playing with my SDR, and I can now stream multiple frequencies :-) Currently Northam and I get some coverage of Toodyay. Is there any point in me streaming 6IP? I would only consider doing this if 6IP and 6AR ever get split. I recall some discussion on why 6IP and 6AR, and thought s...

Still waiting for someone to solve the WA Sun problem - that's why I'm considering the ARM11 or RPi, n...

Which scanner should I use ...?

OK, so I live in the bush, but travel metro on a regular basis, and not afraid of PC's, Raspberry Pi's or ARM's. I'm currently using SDR-Radio and a RTL dongle to broadcast the Northam shire (Bobakine Hill) DFES channel 329 and 5 of the simplex channels. SDR-Radio allows 6 VFO's. (Going to change a ...
