KSMO down
« on: March 11, 2011, 23:38:17 UTC »
KSMO has been down for a few weeks now. Any word on when it will be back?

I might be in a position to provide an alternate feed for this airport. I have a spare computer but not a spare scanner. I'd be willing to invest in getting it up and running if the current feed provider isn't working anymore.

Have not been able to reach the provider after a couple attempts.  Let's chat via email or PM (email preferred).

I spoke to the provider who is a co-worker of mine.   Unfortunately he has moved, and is not near KSMO anymore.  I recommend getting a used PRO-136 base on Ebay, they are way-cheap, and it's airband receive is outstanding.

The PRO-136 is discontinued, but if you can find a RS store that still has any stock, you can get them for $20 brand new!  Picked one up the other day...

Looks like I may need to make a trip to Radio Shack!

Yep, but they're getting hard to find.  Call ahead first and see if they have any.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying it! I'm happy to volunteer, mostly for selfish reasons, though (I really want to be able to listen to my home field).
