Feed Notes

FYI THE FEED DELAY IS ON THE ORDER OF ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND TIMING BETWEEN CALLS MAY NOT BE PRESERVED; HOWEVER, NOTHING WILL  BE LOST IF, FOR EXAMPLE, BOTH THE PD AND FD ARE ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME.

12/20/25 - I have become concerned about AI-driven services scraping my audio and reporting things like simulated active-shooter training as actual mass-casualty events. Once, several years ago, I found myself "fooled" for more than a few minutes. For this reason, I may remove coverage of "Waltham FD2" in the future.

HARDWARE:
Raspberry Pi 4 with TWO "Nooelec NESDR SMArTee XTR SDR" connected to a Tram scanner antenna stuck to a grounded piece of sheet metal.
Yep.

SOFTWARE:
Largely followed this guide.
trunk-recorder recompiled to use the older p25 decoder
