Southwest Oregon Live Scanner
Scanner is OFFLINE till fire season 2010.
The live online scanner is located in Grants Pass, Oregon and is a primary resource for monitoring forest fire related radio traffic via streaming on the web. This feed will cover Josephine and Jackson counties and the agencies that serve them. During a large fire event the scanner will be switched over to monitor only forest fire related issues, during other times it will scan all types of emergencies such as medical issues and vehicle accidents. I have a cable internet connection and a dedicated audio streaming server, I strive to maintain 100% uptime, however after weeks of constant running the server will bog down and sometimes freeze (It's Windows 98 OS), if it goes down it will be reset as soon as I can get to it. There are a number of ways to listen to the scanner, if you have Winamp installed on your computer you can just click the link below, if you click the link and things don't work like they should then you can open Windows Media Player, choose "File>Open URL" and paste the link into the little box that opens and hit OK (you can also get to the open url box by hitting Ctrl U). Once you hit OK it should buffer and then run.
For Windows Media Player copy and paste the link below into the "Open URL Box":
Open Media Player then choose File>Open URL or you can hit "Ctrl U" to get the box:

To listen to the feed on your Cell Phone or PDA
If you have a wireless mobile device you can install either Kinoma Play or Kinoma Freeplay and monitor the scanner from your phone or PDA. Visit the link below and install your choice of player, once installed open the Shoutcast service and search for "Southwest Oregon Scanner" or just "Oregon" and scroll through the results. Then add it to your favorites for easy access. BE AWARE THAT YOU WILL BE USING BANDWIDTH THE ENTIRE TIME YOU ARE CONNECTED EVEN IF NO AUDIO IS COMING OUT OF YOUR SPEAKER. This should only be used if you have an unlimited bandwidth data plan. Some devices however have WIFI capability, and if connected to the Internet via this method would eliminate the problem of using your phones data plan.
