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.
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.
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-NCFD SANDY-NCPD SANDY-SCPD SANDY-SCFD
You 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.
As is tradition at W2LIE.net, the 'Special Feed' will be online starting at 8am on September 11th for anyone who wishes to listen to the FDNY Tapes from 9/11.You can hear the feed using our web platform, or via your Android or iOS device with the " Scanner Radio" app.
Although the feed will be active at 8am, the audio from the FDNY tapes will not begin until 8:46am, which should put the start of the audio in sync with actual events as they unfolded on the morning of September 11th, 2001.
This is about 20 hours of audio. The Special 1 feed will start at 8am EDT and the Special 2 feed will start at 8pm EDT
To hear the feed via your PC, navigate to [link] and scroll down to Special Feed 1 or Special Feed 2.
From your iOS or Android device, download and install Scanner Radio Deluxe by Gordon Edwards. From the application, browse by source, click W2LIE.net, click New York, and then look for the 9/11 Tribute Feed.
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.
