You know you're in Boston when the Boston EMS dispatcher calls the incident location a "Dunkies"

Well finally got around to using the $150 Amazon gift card "Santa" gave me and also the $70 in cash back to order an Uniden SDS150 off Amazon for like $798. Normal price is $949.

Now what to do with the SDS100 I have.

As the P25 world turns... apparently BPD had a channel failure yesterday.

The saga continues... now there's Boston Fire channels on the RapidSOS feed site.

Someone made a recording of the switchover.

"KCA 860 is permanently signing off."

Channel 6 (Area C) has gone encrypted as has channels 8 (warrant info) and 9 (talk-around). All that's left is some miscellaneous channels and citywide.

That's it. End of an era.

I'd like to thank @farewell_ladmin for hosting the BPD Broadcastify feed all these years.

Channel 6 is beginning the process. All units switching to channel 1.

#BostonPD #radioscanner #scannerradio

"All Area D units operating on Channel 1 may now switch to Channel 5 Zone A"

#BostonPD #radioscanner #scannerradio

All that's left is Channel 6 (Area C) which is South Boston and Dorchester.

#BostonPD #radioscanner #scannerradio

Per reports, Channel 5 (Area D) and Channel 7 (Talk-Around) have switched.

#BostonPD #radioscanner #scannerradio

All units on channel 5 switching to channel 1.

#BostonPD #radioscanner #scannerradio

"All Area E units on Channel 1 (Citywide) should switch to Channel 4 Zone A"

#BostonPD #radioscanner #scannerradio

Someone on channel 5 asking if radio shop is monitoring the channel.

#BostonPD #radioscanner #scannerradio

Per RadioReference and Scan NE forums, channel 4 has switched.

#BostonPD #radioscanner #scannerradio

Looks like channel 2 and 3 of BPD have encrypted. Sounds like channel 4 is next. Lots of officers switching to channel 1 (the citywide channel).

#BostonPD #radioscanner #scannerradio

Well it's official. As of August 9 Boston Police will transition to P25 encrypted, no more analog.

There will be delayed official BPD feeds via something called RapidSOS.

Partial alt text below the announcement was too big to include all off it, I'll reply with the whole text in the next post

The Maryland Transportation Authority Police apparently noticed the ship losing power and rushed to block off traffic before the ship hit.

They also noted there was a work crew on the bridge and looks like they made initial notifications to try and warn the foreman of the crew. Sadly, they obviously weren't successful per scanner traffic.

Now that I know how to build mobile applications, I think I'm going to try my hand at building a better SDR Android app.

The ones I've tested work okay, but all seem to have some fairly major user experience flaws.

If you use an SDR (things like rtl-sdr) on an Android phone or would like to, what features would you like to see? What things need to be done better than other applications?

Anyone knows how this 13.8 vdc connector is called? #hamr #hamradio #radioscanner #bearcat220FB #220FB #vintagescanner
