Jefferson County WV
Fire/Rescue/EMS & Police Scanner Feeds

My
scanner feeds are also available via Radio Reference,
ProScan, and ShoutCast.
(I also host a Classic Rock feed.)
Radio
Reference (formerly ScanAmerica) hosts a collection of streams from all
across America. Our streams are labeled “Jefferson County
Fire, Rescue, and EMS” * & “Jefferson County WV Police Dispatch”.
ProScan
is a Client software program that lets you connect to ProScan Host
sites. Among other things, it allows
you to see the scanner’s display while you are listening to the stream. You can download the free ProScan client here.
Installation usually takes less than 10 minutes. My ProScan server name is www.jeffcowv.com. My ProScan description is WV Jefferson
County P25 Police.
* = Stereo stream.
The Fire/Rescue/EMS Dispatch talk group is on the Left channel, and the
Fire/Rescue/EMS TAC & Command talk groups are on the Right channel. You can use the Balance Control on your
audio player to select between the two as desired. (Note that there is no balance control
available when you use the Web Player option on Radio Reference).

My hardware consists of 3 portable scanners (RS Pro-38,
RS Pro-106, and Uniden BCD396T ) and a P3 laptop with an external Sound
Blaster box, running ProScan, oddcast, and ShoutCast software.

The Jefferson
County Communications
Center began
utilization of their digital trunked radio system (TRS) on October 28th,
2008. We currently have our receivers
programmed to receive dispatch and operations talk groups that pertain to Jefferson County. Scanners are capable of receiving only one
channel at a time. Therefore, we try
to use configurations that concentrate on emergency dispatch. For this reason, our current configurations
do not include known private talk groups.
They also do not include WV State Police talk groups, as they are
often busy with Berkeley
County traffic.
Your response is welcome!
Jefferson County WV’s
county-wide communications and early-warning system went on the air at
10:15am on December 27th, 1960.
The project was conceived by an ambitious Civil Defense Director who,
aided by a small group of firefighters and community leaders, utilized funds
made available by the Federal Government for use in municipal Civil Defense
systems to purchase the radio and warning equipment. Later enhancements to the system and its
operation placed it among the most modern, innovative, and emulated on the
east coast during the ‘60s & ‘70s.
Your host is proud to have been associated with many of its founding
fathers, and to have been a part of its history.
