Good job on the incident, recently monitoring Boston on Broadcastify is poor at best with serious volume problems.

If you use the Zello app Boston Fire has Channels 1,2 and 5 on it. It comes right from the console at fire alarm. Audio is excellent and you don't have to worry about missing something while it scans using broadcastify. The zello channels are one for one.

People have recommended using the Zello app but my computer skills are limited to on/off and inserting a speaker/headphone jack. How difficult is it, and how much? TY

 

[paul612]

you can download it on a computer or a cell phone app. The are listed as BFD-1, BFD-2 and BFD-5 exactly like that. BFD-5 should have a BFD patch has the icon. I set mine up years ago so I'm not sure if anything changed. I can help you if you have any issues.

I'm stuck with the Iphone edition. I have a Chromebook and it won't work on it.

Sorry I'm not usually scanning the board on my days off.

With the app downloaded go to channels. There should be a round circle with a plus sign (+) and will also show 3 "people" in it. Click that. Then click on add by channel name. These are the channel names and they have to be entered exactly the way they appear. BFD-1, BFD-2 and BFD-5. You used to be able to search for a channel but for some reason they took that away.
