Streaming live, real-time scanner audio of the: WESTMORELAND COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA - DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Police - Fire - EMS

Located 25 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA

800Mhz-Digital Trunked | APCO-25 | 9600 baud | 29 Tower | Motorola Smartzone-Simulcast TRS.
System is being monitored in open mode for all PD-FD-EMS-Admin TalkGroups.
NOTE: Several encrypted & non-emergency TalkGroups are locked out on the scanner and although they are visible in the display above when in use, they will NOT produce audio here on the feed. The video by default displays ALL currently active TalkGroups at any given moment on the entire system, however, the scanner can obviously only broadcast the audio for one TalkGroup at a time. You will need to match up what you're hearing with what you're seeing. Scroll further down for a complete description of the video content.
The feed is normally running in a scanning sequence and monitoring all targeted talkgroups on the system, but at times during a working incident, the scanner may be locked on the active TalkGroup for that incident for it's duration.
Feed is being received on a Radio Shack (GRE Mfg.) Pro-2096, APCO-25 capable Digi-Scanner using DSP v1.2, and then running the external speaker output thru an ADC 12-band graphic equalizer to smooth the digital scanner audio & improve the sound quality.
The visual portion of this feed is a live partial screencap of the Pro96Com Control Channel Decoding software running in sync with the audio from the scanner. This program monitors and decodes the 9600 baud digital Control Channel data stream being transmitted by the system, and displays the resulting TalkGroup Description, Radio ID, and Radio Description for all users currently transmitting on the system at the given moment. Even though the screen shows ALL TalkGroups/Radios in use, the scanner can only lock on and broadcast the audio for one at a time, so you will need to match up what you're hearing to what you're seeing.
TalkGroups are Highlighted and Color Coded: RED = Fire TalkGroups (different shades used for different TAC channels) BLUE = Police TalkGroups (different shades used for different TAC channels) GREEN = EMS TalkGroups (different shades used for different TAC channels) ORANGE = Countywide TalkGroups
PINK = Sheriff's Office TalkGroups (several of these TACs are locked out since they are encrypted) GRAYED OUT TEXT, NO COLOR = TalkGroup is Locked Out, NO audio from scanner on these BOLD BLACK TEXT, NO COLOR(and no TalkGroup shown) = Data transmissions
ALL TalkGroups transmitting are always displayed. The Radio Descriptions are displayed when available, but due to the Control Channel's programming within the system, Radio ID's (thus their associated Radio Descriptions) get sent only once per channel grant and so are not always displayed on every transmission.
