July 13, 11:30am - Signal 35 - Seminole County??
Hello,
I was wondering if you heard a Signal 35 on the wire today. Supposedly off Red Bug somewhere in Seminole County. Apparent 911 call, then disconnect. Suspicious... I heard them say an Indian woman was shot in the head. Police called for Major Crimes Unit and Forensics. Can't confirm on ANY major news sites...
Can you confirm? Any other info?
Thanks!

My name is Chantel and i live in Davenport,Ia My father is a deputy in Orange county, Fl I am hoping to find a website where i can hear Orange County Sheriffs office radio traffic. Does anybody know a site that does Orange County only? Thanks
Orange County Sheriff's

there are scanner apps, i have one on my droid, i get orange county traffic just fine however i live in Seminole and i want to listen in on whats going on in my apartment complex.
Very cool!
Very cool site! I'm curious, though - on my scanner, I get a lot of channels that sound like data or data that overrides the voice.
How do you avoid those?
Scan lite program?
I just relocated from SC and was told any Radio Shack could program my Radio Shack scanner like when I bought it new. It only took 10 minutes and I was set. Fast forward 3 years and now I have been to Radio Shacks at Florida Mall, SOBT/Sand Lake, WinterGarden and Kirkman at Conroy/Windermere ( where at least he tried for an hour!) and nobody knew anything except to say "We do not sell a lot of Scanners" or "A guy that used to work here knew how to do that."
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Of course I am trying to not pay $35 for some usb connector they try ro sell you?
Thank you in advance if you can recommend somehere that can assist me.

Welcome Back! email me if you would like to head to radio shack together to attain a new antenna. im down for donating to the cause. !
Ripped407@gmail.com
Thanks..
I went and got a different antenna at Radio Shack, didn't make much of a difference. I might have to build something external to put on my porch.
antenna won't help
As a long-time scanner streamer and communications engineer, I'm pretty sure that a better or higher antenna won't help you. In fact, you might get better results reducing your antenna exposure.
Orange County, and presumably Seminole County, run wide-area multi-site trunked systems that simulcast their transmissions. The noise flutter on your feed is multipath interference as signals from multiple transmitters arrive at your antenna out of phase with each other and cancel each other out. Apparently your antenna is in a geographic location where the signals from different transmitter sites arrive at about the same strength.
You might do better to lower your antenna, get a directional antenna, or even try receiving the system with a decent indoor antenna. Yes, I'm serious. A directional antenna might allow you to null out the undesired sites and receive a good site well enough not to be affected by the multipath signals. It might also pull in the Winter Park site better, if that is a problem now. An indoor antenna might hear ONLY the strongest site by such a wide margin over other sites that it sounds as clean as a hound's tooth.
If any of these work, it would definitely improve the intelligibility of the feed since the noise peaks right now can be strong enough to wipe out a word or two every now and then.
I signed up for an account to post, but it said you have to approve it first, so I posted as anon.

Bote's Trackstreamer scanner feeds
Really like what your doing Jeff !
I don't have a answer to the reception problem however your listeners can get better overall listening by downloading VLC player. It's free or you can donate, while loading make sure you select it to show up in dropdown menu. Open your hyperlink VLC should be an option in the list, select now go to tools, select effects and filters enable equalizer and the double pass feature leave mode on flat thats it, twice the voice half the noise. I think you can stream this way also if desired.
Best Regards,
Gary
Considering the antenna I was
Considering the antenna I was using, trust me, it was worth a shot.
I have my eye on a design for a directional antenna.
Thankyou!!
OMG, I missed this site so much!! Who knew? lol!! It is just so interesting to know what is going on out there. Thanks for all of your hard work getting this site back on!!

Scanner Back Online
Hi!
Do you know when you will be putting your scanner back online?

Jeff, your Orlando scanner was awesome. Are you planning to put it back up?
The Seminole County System - Is it changing - some info,
I, like all of you do miss Jeff's Seminole County feed. I am also at a loss as to what P25 is about, but I did some digging and have an excellent source of info in the link below.
It looks like perhaps the analog scanners of yesterday may not work. After reading the link I was left with the pression that perhaps a digital scanner may be required. After reading the link and searching for further info I am certain what will be needed nor do we even know that Seminole is going to Project 25 as they call it.
I am new to the scanner scene. I purchased an iPhone and got an at that allows listening to feeds that are provided by folks like Jeff. I listened so frequently that I became addicted! My wife enjoyed it every bit as much as I did! We are located in an unincorporated section of Longwood, and I even began to learn the signal and ten codes.
I am a local ham licensed in 1963 and would gladly offer my services if I may be of se help in one way or another.

I just heard that Seminole county
Updated the system to a P25 system not a trunked system. I don't know what all the tech talk stands for but basically the signal has an Encryption on it. So........... Is this bye bye scanner site????? I hope not this is a great site. but sounds like the cops are getting more crooked .. Or maybe this is in the new health care bill.
Cops more crooked??
If you think the cops are crooked, maybe you shouldn't be listening anyway. Most people listen either because they respect what LEO does or they are crooks trying to beat the system.

I really miss this site!
I wish this site was operational again! Aside from the pure entertainment, it also gave me knowledge as to what was happening in my neighborhood. Just yesterday, I had a Sheriff helicoper buzzing over my house for about a half hour...would have been nice to hear what was going on!
Come back please!!!!!
Is he dead?
Is this site dead now? No scanner and no updates for weeks. Maybe he's in jail, or skipped town?

Radio Shack Pro 95
Anyone in the Orlando Metro area program this radio. I am totally confused how to program this for Seminole and Orange County fire and police. I am willing to pay a reasonable fee for this service. Please respond to Charlie2909@earthlink.net if you know of someone that programs this type of radio. Thanks

Hi Jeff, checking out your web page and live stream from Harvey, New Brunswick, Canada.
Sanford PD
We have been hit by burglars and have been seeing a lot of "activity" around our neighborhood in Sanford. Can we buy an inexpensive scanner from Radio Shack or somewhere else and listen to Sanford PD dispatch and/or patrols?
Sanford Police, FL
I have the same problem. I have a Radio Shack triple trunking handheld scanner and I have it programmed for Seminole County from radio shack. It's picking up SCSO, Oviedo PD, SCFR, and that's about it. I need to listen to sanford. Have you or anyone else had any luck?
Sanford
Sanford Police use Seminole County frequencies, you will have to scan them to see what area they cover.

Police scanner answer
According to F.S. 843.16, you may not (transport) or install a police scanner in any vehicle unless you are a police officer, employee of emergency services, full time employee of media, or have a radio operators license. You may have a police scanner at your home though. Hope this helps.
POLICE SCANNER answer
i dont see the reason why the media is allowed to monitor police radios and private citizens are not. it makes no sense, its all about media sensationalism. and if its because the private citizen cant be trusted, well the media could be the same. If its to keep curious people away it makes no sense cause the media will inform anyways. well i have no problem with any of the comm systems and frequencies. im glad i paid attention to my instructor at signal tower and other tech comm schools in europe. no comm traffic unheard.
