Ham radio monitoring.

There is alot of Ham repeaters on the BROADCASTIFY.com site. They are mostly associated with the Rescue Squads and WX things... I listen to about 10 tabs on my computer all the time...

The local police have all gone to digital radios and you can't hear them talk anymore... It just goes BRRRR when they talk on my old scanners. they all but worthless now...

I imagine all of the FED chaneels are doing the same thing...

BROADCASTIFY is really neat for me however as i have four or five groups I like to listen too all the time... Works anywhere being on the internet...

Haven't locate much for the Tn area but I bet there are a few on it...

Certainly in Washington and Oregon you can use Repeater Book to look at the repeaters. The program uses the build in GPS to sense which repeaters are close.

In my experience, many of these repeaters are connected together in trunk systems. I got into local chit chats while camping with my $50 Baofeng almost every night. The radios have a huge following, work very well, and are almost indestructible. VA7MDD

Thanks. You answered my question. I was hoping that there was a way to monitor without the expense of a radio.

Camping at ELKMONT in Smoky Mtn Natl Park is great with handheld... Local Gatlinburg Repeater located at Cave Cove on 146.850...
