David,
First of all, thanks for the kind words on the Youtube vid. It’s not my best effort but after about 10 takes I finally had to call it quits, lol! I believe the one and only reason I settled on the Uniden was that the rep at Arcsoft assured me I could get a screen capture of the Uniden’s virtual display with Windows Media Encoder. That was very important to me as that’s the app I use to stream the vid. If that’s not a big deal to you, then yes, go for the GRE, it’s an excellent radio too and with the right software, I imagine Encoder could probably grab it’s display also. I just wasn’t sure and wanted to know that whatever radio I bought would feed my page. |

| Hi Dale; I enjoyed the You Tube video of your shack. I’m on the fence between choosing a Uniden scanner or a GRE radio. Could you please give me briefly your reasons for using the Uniden ( That’s the one I’m leaning towards) |

| Wanted to tell everyone a story.. the PC I thought was finally ready for the junk pile has been resurrected. As a last ditch effort I simply reinstalled the recovery CD that came with the box 3 years ago. True, I had a gazillion Windows XP updates to download and install thru XP service pack 3 but once done, the box performs almost as new. On occasion at boot up I still get a "blue screen" that’s related to some Linksys router problem but usually I reboot again and all is well. All the other junk apps have been removed so it just runs Windows Media Encoder and the scanner software used to pull the audio/video from the BCD996t. I’ve noticed I need to reboot the box about every two weeks to keep the feed running smoothly. I guess some background processes fail, sockets fail, whatever and reboot seems to cure all ills. Can’t complain with what I’m getting using a budget Emachine with a 64 bit Athlon processor, a wireless card into my home network. Have fun listening and watching.. ’73 and take care, KC0NZM |

Hi Alex,
Yes, the PC I use to host the feed has finally had it’s day I think. I’m able to still feed the audio portion to RadioReference/Scanamerica but the machine keeps giving errors when I try to to transmit the video/audio feed with Windows Media Encoder. Something to do with the fact that the CPU can’t keep up with processing the stream. I suspect it’s just worn out from running 3 years 24/7.
Thanks for your support and again, you can still hear the audio at radioreference.com.

Hello D. Rhodes,
To hear comms from McPherson County, someone who lives there would have to set up a scanner and transmit the audio to their webpage. To my knowledge, no one is doing that. I’m possibly close enough to get the signals but I don’t have a newer type scanner that’s capable of receiving trunked transmissions.
Hope that helps and thanks for signing the book!
Dale
