Broadcaster Notes to All Listeners:

Radio Coverage around parts of Hawai'i Island - including West Hawai'i has limited or sporadic radio coverage and audio broadcasted can sound distorted or garble at any time. This is out of our control and we will do our best to make adjustments to any issues that arise. However, some channels are partially encrypted, some audio may sound garbled.
This scanner feed will go offline on the 1st Friday Nights of each month from 11:00 pm to 11:30 pm for regular equipment feed maintenance.
Should the event of a power & internet outage, the scanner may remain offline for a prolonged amount of time until a troubleshooter can restore power and reconnect the scanner back to the online server. We ask for the public’s patience, should that situation arise.

During events of police situations (such as manhunts, hostage, missing persons, and other police-sensitive situations):
- DO NOT tweet or post police movements during that time to protect the first responders at the scene or responding to the scene.
  - Should a discovery of such posts or tweets on any social media platform is found, we reserve the right to take our feed offline, to help protect our first responders and potential victims at the scene as well. We will bring the scanner feed online again once the situation is declared over.
During events of serious, critical, or fatal incidents (including vehicle accidents, rescues, medical, and public incidents):
- Please DO NOT tweet or post moment-by-moment events happening at the scene or information related to that incident (including graphic details) and ask everyone to be sensitive to the situation that is ongoing and to the potential victims at the scene. This will ensure the affected families are appropriately notified of the incident by authorities.
