Temporary

While it looks as though the police have stopped using encrypted communication.  So the police are back on the radio scanner once again!  For how long?  I don't know. Kreval

For those who have asked about the Fire and Paramedic stream.  The scanner will still stream the Fire Department and the Paramedic audio feed from the scanner.  Only the police will be missing.  So for those who want to listen to these streams they will continue to be broadcasted.  If the stream goes down please use the contact form to let me know it is down.

Encryption

WinnipegTheft has been streaming a live feed of the Winnipeg Police Scanner to it's listeners for approximately 5 years.  As of yesterday the audio stream came to an end.  The Winnipeg Police have switched their radios over to encrypted radio communications.  The police will not be heard on the scanner anymore.  It's not possible to listen to encrypted radio signals.  For now we can still listen to the Fire Department and the Ambulance service.  Other radio feeds (cities) may be added in the future.  Stay tuned for updates.

Well the site has been hacked 2 times now.  It must be a script kiddie doing it.  I am trying to figure out how they are getting in.  So things might be up and down here in the short term.  They get in and delete and change things as you have seen. Sorry about the down time.  This should be a good reminder to all of you out there that do not have a backup of your information that is valuable to you.  You will more than likely loose your information due to a crashed hardrive and not a script  [ Read More ]
