How the online scanner feed works

The process for you to hear Yakima Police and Fire transmissions begins with two scanners located 3.5 miles East of downtown Yakima at an elevation of 1300 feet.

One scanner is a BC780XLT (scanning Police channels) and the other is a BC246T (scanning Fire channels).
The audio goes through an audio mixer Mackie 402-VLZ3, connected to a Griffin iMic USB Audio Interface to provide the stereo input to scanner broadcaster program ProScan with ScanCast encoding software on a HP Compaq t5710 Thin Client with XP Embedded O.S.

The stereo mp3 encoded signal is then sent to the RadioReference servers at a rate of 32Kbps. The RR servers allows unlimited number of listeners.

All of the scanners, computers, modem and router have battery and generator backup power supply.
