The channel that scans all 5 boroughs has been down for over a week

Each individual channel work. But some are quieter than others like Brooklyn & Queens.

Bronx & Manhattan come in loud and clear
 
Queens is down too. It is picking up like 1 transmission an hour and the clip is short.
Broadcastify was having a similar issue too.
 
I have enjoyed listening to 5.0 Radio for years, so very appreciative of the service. My hope is that it continues. If there is something needed to support their efforts I'm on board to support
 
Here in the UK, listening on scanners was stopped nearly twenty years ago. The reason the fire and police service went digital broadcast was because of 911. Now I have the ridiculous situation last year when my neighbour was burnt to death next door, with seven fire appliances outside I couldn't hear a thing on my scanner. But I could hear crystal clear, the five boroughs of New York, very frustrating. Attached the scene outside my house last year.

No it doesn't, individual boro feeds all at the same time.So if the Bronx is really busy your SI feed is pushed back but you will get it although it will be delayed.
 
Didn’t realize OpenMHZ also has an app:

I use this for Boston, Chicago, and Boston mutual aid info. But like I said for FDNY if a boro gets really busy all other transmissions get delayed.
 
I believe it was an FDNY member that ran the Broadcastify feed, has he been told to remove it?

Open Mhz feed for FDNY was really good until some comments about FDNY & Israel appeared alongside the feed, it mysteriously went down after that and has never been the same since it came back up. I love the clear audio of FDNY as apposed to the digital rubbish from other departments which half the time is inaudible. Fingers crossed we'll get it back
