LISTENING INSTRUCTIONS. READ THE PARAGRAPH BELOW

You will need to download Teamspeak to listen to the server
. Here is a link to download teamspeak. It will take less then 10 minutes from the time you download & install to the time you connect.
Download Here:
WINDOWS XP Teamspeak 2 Client
(I updated the teamspeak link because some people could not download the program 1/27/08) Follow the instruction when installing, its pretty straightforward. Once installed, open your Teamspeak client, and at the top click on Connection. Then in the menu click Quick Connect. A login box appears. In the server address field type in the following: 66.55.146.51:8053
Then in the nickname box, type in your nickname (warning if someone else is using that nickname, you will recieve a login error- names such as E15 or DCFD may already be used, so you have to choose another)
Leave the Login name, and the login password fields blank. You do not need these. Just a server address and nickname will suffice. Once you have entered the server address and a nickname, click connect, and you should be in! If you have any problems, email
[email protected] and ill be happy to assist.
For other operating systems (MAC, LINUX), click this
link to download other versions of teamspeak.

The radio used is a Uniden Bearcat BCD996T Trunktracking scanner with Trunktracker 4.
The scanner is set to scan the DC fire departments following channels:
(The scanner is set to SCAN, just like any other scanner)

01-DISPATCH
02-MAIN
03- FG 03 (Fireground Channel)
07- FG 07 (Fireground Channel)
A3- FG A3 (Firegorund Channel)
A7- FG A7 (Fireground Channel)
014/A13/A14

I ordered a new antenna so that should be a relief to the one frequency that comes in scratchy.

With a trunked system, every time someone keys a mic, the frequency will change as well. Its never the same back to back, its like a rotation. Click this link from wiki.radioreference.com to learn more. It is explained in detail
here.

DCFD AUDIO FROM AIR FLORIDA FLIGHT 90 / METRO TRAIN COLISSION JANUARY 13 1982 -CHANNEL 1 RADIO TRANSMISSIONS

I UPLOADED THE AUDIO FILES ONTO LIVELEAK IN 4 PARTS.
PART 1 IS A LITTLE LOUD FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS, BUT IT SHOULD CLEAR UP. THE RECORDINGS ARE FROM A 15 YEAR OLD AUDIO CASSETTE. IT IS SCRATCHY BUT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE AUDIO.

AS ALWAYS, ENJOY
