Feed Notes
:: NEW AS OF APRIL 21, 2021 ::
Starting April 21, 2021, the audio feed is now coming directly from ScanJoCo.us's hardware and is no longer hardware-based.
What does this mean? No more cut-off audio, no more choppy audio. Please note that the radio traffic IS going to become delayed during high radio activity - this is expected behavior. This new setup queues the radio traffic as it comes in rather than stepping over one another and missing out on radio traffic.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated! Feel free to submit your feedback by clicking/tapping here.

Prairie Village PD is currently not scanned/streamed from this scanner. There is too much activity within JoCo to reliably add PV PD. You may have luck using the following site: https://scanjoco.us
The scanner feed on Broadcastify.com does not monitor & stream event channels (JoCo Common, Citywide, Public Works, etc), KDOT, or non-dispatch talk groups.
Additionally, I cannot monitor or scan JoCo ECC Fireground talk groups (ECC Tac 4 to Tac 9). They encrypted it in 2013, and it appears it was solely encrypted to keep the media (TV/News) out. This also means you, the public, cannot listen in either. Sorry.
FAQ:
- Why is this stream so quiet... where's the humming and noise?
- I don't like white noise. I don't like listening to a grounding hum issue all day.
- The scanner is very much so scanning, but not with annoying background sounds.
- The alpha tags are showing up a few seconds after the voice transmission.
- This is simply due to the application in use sending the metadata in a delayed state to the Broadcastify servers causing further delay. Generally, meta/alpha tags are sent as the voice activates.
- The scanner is tuning into a dispatch or some sort of public safety call midway...!!
- There are many towns and cities in Johnson County, KS. If there was a previous voice connection active, it will keep the channel open until the transmission ends. This may end up with another channel being tuned into mid-way. Just the way of the river.
If you want to hear audio without it being scrambled about, give https://scanjoco.us a try. - The scanner will attempt to prioritize active sessions via Priority and Non-Priority channels.

- The audio is really distorted!! What gives?
- That happens from time to time with P25 systems. As far as I am aware, this is due to a bad decode on the scanner or an antenna on the P25 system having issues, causing the scanner to lose a lock on the talk group.
- Sometimes it will auto-correct, other times - it will be like that until the transmission concludes.
- Commonly known as simulcast distortion.
- All dispatches utilize a tone/beep before activating voice for any priority/urgent calls. All configured talk groups listed above can utilize the following tones...
- Short low-pitch tone: Channel Marker, used when air is held. Happens every 10 seconds if active.
- Long high-pitch tone: Attention call/page out.
- Fast High tone beep x3 or x5: ECC Fire Call or non-breather.
- Hi-Lo / Warble: Assist the officer (Police), Evacuate Building (Fire).
- The scanner is active and showing agencies saying something via alpha tags... but no audio!
- What does (HOLD) mean?
- Complete scanner hold on a single systems talk group. Forces the scanner to ignore all non-priority set channels, locks to a single Talkgroup ID number. Enabled when there is a notable event in progress (mainly on regional common 3). Manually Activated.

- If the stream is silent for more than 15 minutes at any given time and only shows "Scanning...", please do let me know. It's possible a frequency changed on the JoCo system, or the scanner needs to be hit with a hammer a few more times. :^)
