New streaming scanner..?

Hi Folks.
I have some server capacity left over here and am thinking about hosting a second streaming scanner.
What would we be interested in hearing? I'm thinking one of:
* Auxiliary FESA channels - water bombers, BFS command channels etc
* Public transport - trains, busses
What think we?

It is possible to get a FESA paging decoder like the SAGRN network? Or is that too much to ask for?
Cheers

FESA paging goes over a public paging network. The Telecommunications Act and intercept laws and all that nasty stuff comes into play there

Thanks for the opportunity. Would be interested in any of the following; DEC, BFS simplex, BFS Command channels

The big problem with FESA simplex and command channels are that there are many of them and they only transmit in a local area. Unlike 6AR/6IP there is no one channel that can be "set and forget".

Thanks auntys_eyes I totally appreciate and expected the comment with the Simplex channels and the nature of Simplex channels. The question was asked and I thought I would put it out there if there was an opportunity to monitor. Any comments about DEC channels then? Is this possible?

Easy. Configure your voice recognition software to detect someone saying 8 8, ( though I think detecting 3rd or higher alarm would be more beneficial) activate your second scanner, filtering out everything except communication between 6AR/IP and appliances involved with the incident. Somehow, I think dealing with the static for the voice recognition will be the easy bit.
[Humor off]
What really worries me is that I actually thought this through....
