So where do I begin….I guess it all started with listening to the police scanners on my phone while working. It brought back memories of when I was a kid and some of my aunts and uncles had the scanners going all night long. I thought it was cool to be able to hear all of the radio traffic around you, to hear street names I recognized.
So as I started to listen more regularly I noticed the audio wasn’t all that great and the feeds where down from time to time. It made me wonder where these feeds were coming from so I could “fix” the issue somehow. As usual “fixing it” in my mind ends up with me on Amazon buying something. Smash cut to SDR’s or Software Defined Radio.
