For those with the appropriate listening software to receive streaming audio files in the 'ogg/vorbis' format (WinAmp, Zinf, VLC, etc) my hamshack scanners are available at http://66.112.51.125:8000/kf8kk.ogg . (if you do NOT have appropriate software your browser will likely attempt to download a file that never ends-- it's a continuous stream!) This is a dual channel audio feed with some local area repeaters in the left channel (145.39, 146.52, 147.30, 147.04, 147.10, 442.5, 444.925, 442.9mhz) and the 145.36 IOOK Dstar repeater near Glen Arbor. The local IOOK analog repeaters are in the right channel (52.92, 145.27, 444.725mhz). (Please note that the 145.36 Dstar repeater audio is mixed in separately from the scanner which makes it possible for you to hear digital voice Dstar conversations mixed with analog conversations on the left channel. Sorry, my old RSpro2045 scanner doesn't decode DStar, but an Icom2200h does.) For those with a high speed connection but a desire NOT to install WinAmp or Zinf or similar media players, There are at least two Java based players that you can automatically load right from this web browser. To use these you need to have the Sun Java program already on your machine (and most of us do as this is also required to view NOAA weather service radar images). Thanks to JavaZoom.com you can CLICK HERE to hear the stream using the JavaZoom player. Thanks to JCraft.com you can CLICK HERE to hear the stream using the JCraft java player. Please note that the browser may seem to be lifeless for a few seconds as the java code to play the stream is downloaded and the initial stream is buffered. Give it a minute and you'll be connected to the stream. (of course, if there's nothing on the local ham repeaters-- you won't hear anything right away. Thankfully, the W8BNZ repeater ID's every 10 minutes in the left channel-- so, given enough time you will hear something!)
