If you've ever wanted to listen to the FDNY Manhattan (154.250) but found that the regular scanner sites are always overwhelmed or slow, I've got a deal for you.

PM me for the web address of a private live stream of FDNY Radio (Manhattan Only) I set up with a desktop scanner from my office here on 25th street and 7th ave in Manhattan.

Manhattan radio is VERY bursty - you can go 30 minutes without a transmission, and then 90 minutes with constant traffic.

Fire or EMS side?

154.250

EMS is all "Transport" traffic who wants that?

It sure is. Eventually, I'll set up remote control of the scanner so I can play with the channels from home in PA.

Our network ops guy said I have have 32KB upstream bandwith with his OK, I can VNC in to the system, I just need to get the computer-scanner interface going.
