<body dir="ltr">The SDR receiving is fine... The rebroadcasting to the Internet,without permission, is the illegal part. It's down to interpretation a little - if you're rebroadcasting to just yourself over the Internet via a password protected audio stream is still illegal - but if noone knows.. Still, if you get caught then you have to take it on the chin. <hr>Sent from a mobile device.

Thanks for the responses. Completely understand the common sense around the rebroadcast of said channel - I'm not out to break any laws

I guess<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> you could counter that argument on the basis SDR is not broadcasting
<b>any one station specifically,</b> its just connecting to a device that can receive radio frequencies and relay them via the internet. So the remote user connects to the device, and keys in the frequency they want to listen to (whether that be Police, McDonalds,

With the legal crap out of the way, some members can probably help you off list with your query... :D

Good to see some chatter about the police on here. I am one of the few lucky ones who have a SDR running in the Eastern District where the police comms are all still analogue on UHF. They also operate on 75mhz, but I can't pick that up very well for some reason. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">My

Wider question - does anyone here operate SDR servers in an area where the police are still on analogue? I've only ever been able to listen to Hawkes Bay comms, would be great to listen to another area over the web!</div>
