Notes

This feed utilizes a Software Defined Radio (SDR) system that is configured to queue calls that are occurring at the same time on different talkgroups in the order they are received. This is the best way to avoid missing traffic. As a result, the feed can run up to 5-10 minutes behind realtime during busy times on the trunk system (such as during an incident.)

The SDR transmits Alpha Tags alongside the audio, which is supported by some Broadcastify clients. However, all mainline talkgroups come up as "OCC" due to the fact that a Controller is typically responsible for more than one line, and as a result, multiple (or sometimes all) mainline talkgroups are patched together. The SDR transmits this as the 651xx patch talkgroup ID that is designated by BART's Harris system. Hopefully, this bug will be resolved in the future by the SDR's software developer.
