I miss the radio, come back all is forgiven

All feeds everywhere have gone silent 😒

It appears that all Broadcastify and Open MHz feeds are down now. Radio silence for a few days

I’ve done it before, collecting all the dregs in a bucket. I’ve also worked in a department that had a tanker with foam in a separate tank, ideal for departments that don’t do foam ops that much, you had to decant the foam into another flexible tank thing set up next to the tanker, it worked but...

Ok for now that’s good. I’m too far out of NYC to pick it up on the radio

Looking like the FDNY is pulling the plug on anyone wanting to listen in on them, massive PR disaster by the politicians and leadership

beginning of the end, encryption beckons. Maybe Trump could stick a 100% tariff on digital radio?

So do I. I think our listening days may be coming to an end.

Still a a bit hit and miss really. I don’t think the feeds are coming back as we knew them any time soon.

Encryption for the FDNY would be a PR disaster for the department. Anyone with any knowledge of the department’s fine history would understand this. The facility to move to an encrypted channel if needed for terror or security related incidents is a good idea, but… every borough, every rig? it...

Anyhow…. a big shout out to the vollies, excellent work down there, we rarely mention them on the forum but they do fantastic work in the community. Even in storm Sandy they never left the peninsula, I know this church is very special to them, and it’s still standing.

sounds like they’re on the 800mhz again, awful! 👎

Thanks, I’ll give it a try 👍

😂 just checked again and both loud and clear, I stand corrected. Just need to find a Queens feed now,

Bronx & SI, Manhattan seams dead now, no Brooklyn or Queens. Open MHz still working, no Queens or CW1 though. I think maybe we all took the feeds for granted? Hopefully someone will get the feeds up and running again. I can’t bear to listen to that digital audio from other departments!
