 NCFD-West and Battalion 3 Radio Upgrade Help
For the last 14 years, W2LIE.net and Monitor Long Island have been streaming Nassau and Suffolk Counties to the internet.
However, it is now time to upgrade the scanners that supply the "NCFD-WEST" and the Nassau 3rd Battalion Feeds.
The NCFD-West feed is currently a BC780XLT and the 3rd battalion feed is an older scanner.
These will benefit you, the listener, by allowing us to remotely control and program these radios.
You see, right now it requires someone to physically be on site to lock out a channel or change a function.
And since upgrading to Windows 10 on the computer that serves both, we can no longer communicate with the BC780XLT to reprogram it. We were never able to communicate with the 3rd battalion feed.
These upgrades will allow us to upgrade the older programming in the West and 3rd Feeds and bring everything up to date.
We are raising money for the following: 2 Unden USB Cables
After 14 years and paying for hardware and upgrades out of my pocket, this is a bit more than I can afford to spend at this time. I have never once asked the community to help support the hardware side, but the time has come to do so.
If there is anything left over in our pocket after buying the new scanners and hardware, we will donate the balance to the Nassau County Firefighter's Museum.
Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to keeping these feeds on for years to come.
Thanks again Phil / w2lie [/html] Comments are turned off for this item

Superstorm Sandy Feeds  It is hard to believe that Hurricane Sandy hit Long Island just 6 years ago. Many of us were glued to the TV and were monitoring weather reports trying to keep track of where the storm might track. Nobody could guess just how hard this area would be hit. Nobody expected the storm surges would be so great. Nobody expected lines at the gas station, or to be without power for so long.To mark the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, we will be replaying the NCPD, SCPD, NCFD-East, and SCFD-West feeds in "real time". The feeds will begin at 1130hrs on 10/28 and run through 23:30hrs on 10/31. The feeds will run in time sequence as they would have been broadcasted a year ago.The four feeds will be running as follows:SANDY-NCFDSANDY-NCPDSANDY-SCPDSANDY-SCFDYou will be able to listen to the feeds on your computer by using one of the links on our Live Feed Page, or via the Scanner Radio app on iOS or Android Platforms.We hope all of those who have been hit hard by this storm have recovered.[/html] Comments are turned off for this item

From W2LIE.net, Monitor Long Island, Inc, Long Island Fire Photos.com, and now East Coast Pagers, we wish to thank all those who protect our country and our cities every day. We pray for those who are still suffering, and those who have lost loved ones in the attacks. We salute those who went over seas to bring justice to those who waged war on us. I hope everyone spends a few minutes today thinking about those that they love and take time to reflect on another year that has passed.
