Lycoming County Public Safety

This feed is scanning many of the Lycoming County Public Safety Frequencies and others of interest, some are surrounding counties as well.  Below are the current frequencies being scanned with a Radio Shack Pro-2048 200 channel connected to an outdoor antenna from Cemetery St in Williamsport, PA. * There are also several apps for listening from your mobile device (I am only familiar with Android, but others have similar apps in some form).

NOTE.... Some digital communications are being used, which may sound like a machine gun or a hissing sounding noise/rattling.  Currently, we do not have a scanner to monitor these communications, but they are available to buy.  Some digital forms being used include Nexedge and P25.  Scrambling or Voice Inversion may also be heard, as most all radios these days have this capability built in.  This scanner is Analog only and does not decode the digital formats, so as the public safety agencies switch to these digital formats, it will limit what we can hear without a new several hundred dollar scanner.  If there is encryption, that will prevent listening even with a digital scanner.

Also don't confuse W3AHS or Ham Radio with the Scanner Feed as they are not the same.  KB3AWQ.com or W3AHS.com or WQGU515.com, are owned by the Lycoming County Scanner Feed provider.  Originally, I used w3ahs.com for a subdomain for the scanner feed. The scanner feed is nothing more than a scanner that is hooked up to the AUX IN jack of a computer (now Raspberry Pi 2) at my home and the audio is passed to the internet through a program the encodes the audio to broadcastify.com.  Previously it was on an older computer that I have had donated by someone or a listener who had an old one lying around.  W3AHS and KB3AWQ are FCC Amateur Radio issued call signs.  

There is lots of information on the web by searching ham radio or amateur radio and how you can get your ham radio license if you choose, and then you will be able to talk to other hams locally and worldwide through radios you purchase or even some apps on your mobile device after you pass your test. These frequencies are up and down the dial, which allows a lot to experiment with.  You can listen to these frequencies by searching for ham radio frequencies and entering them into your scanner or receiver if you have one, but cannot transmit unless you have your license to do so. 

Understand that scanners are used in many ways for people to know what is going to include their own safety (situational awareness).  It is legal to listen, but is illegal if you are using the scanner for illegal activity or a crime and would likely be additional charges added.
