Title: KBOS feed
Post by: djmwx2 on July 31, 2008, 06:18:26 PM

I have been trying to listen to BOS tower several times over the past day and listen for around 45 minutes and do not hear anything.  I know it was working earlier this week but since Tuesday evening (I believe) I have not been able to hear anything.  I have tried two different computers.  Is the feed down or am I missing something?  I have been able to listen to other airports.

Feed is up with no audio.  I'll look into it.

Feeds back up - blown power supply.  That's the good news.  The bad news is that there is a carrier locking 128.8 (tried all scanners on site).  Not sure there is anything I can do about that right now.  So no 132.225 or Skyways unless the carrier goes away.  It doesn't seem to be coming from any of the othger scanners, either.  Powered them all off and same thing.  :-(

Fixed the Boston Tower interference issue over the weekend.  Turned out that an amplifier was wreaking some havoc - too much gain in the system - removed the amp and a couple of cables and all is OK now.

Tower is now scanning all 3 frequencies again.

I've noticed that KBOS clearance sounds really weak while other clearance frequencies sound fine.  What's going on?

Now it appears all of the KBOS feeds are down...   :?

Yes, they are down due to a network outage. 

As to Clearance, there is distortion on that scanner for some reason.  May have been some static discharge damage.  It's only Clearance.  :-)

Actually, Boston Clearance sounds fine here.
