San Diego Police scanner

Monitoring public safety communications, particularly fire department dispatch, presents a unique challenge as agencies increasingly move towards encrypted systems. This Broadcastify feed, originating from a _BCD396XT_ scanner situated in northern San Diego City, provides real-time audio for the San Diego City Fire Department. While it previously included police dispatch, those transmissions are now fully encrypted, a common trend impacting scanner enthusiasts and emergency services observers alike. The setup utilizes a Windows server running _Freescan_ and _RemoteFS_ for remote control, ensuring consistent operation and clear audio via a ground loop isolator. With a peak of 8,785 listeners in the last 24 hours, the feed demonstrates significant interest in local emergency traffic. Alpha tags, indicating the current channel, are generally available for premium users, enhancing situational awareness for listeners. Feed archives are maintained in 30-minute segments, allowing for review of past incidents and operational patterns, a valuable feature for those studying emergency response or simply keeping informed about local events.
