Our new project, Broadcastify Calls, might be a better fit for this. Instead of 24x7 live streams, we capture and ingest every individual call as a compressed audio file from SDRs (software defined receivers) We can then ingest and present back to consumers playback, rewind, playlist, of those calls. We're now capturing over 100 systems and 800-900 calls a minute... as we solidify the architecture it will be our new direction for how we capture and disseminate public safety audio (Police Scanners)

Love the idea! P25 decoder seems like it needs a little tuning...can you share what you're using?

Any thoughts on adding the ability to comment/transcribe/etc?

Hey Blatoni, big fan, and software engineer here. Any way you could add Rochester, NY (Monroe County Sheriff, and RPD) to the list of supported calls? I have an RTL SDR, but haven't been able to spend the time figuring out how to decrypt the Phase II trunking.

You can get started as a calls ingest provider here:

Hop on to https://gitter.im/trunk-recorder/Lobby if you are having trouble getting the https://github.com/robotastic/trunk-recorder software running. Trunk Recorder puts a wrapper around the OP25 software and lets you capture all of the audio from a radio system using an SDR.

The source repo to feeds.talonvoice.com includes a test ingestor that scrapes your calls API and uploads the src/dst info with the transcription, I haven't tested it live though.
