Feed Notes

 

For the Boston Marathon you will hear a mix of Start, Course and Finish radio traffic, especially on the MSP Events TGs. Boston Citywide is set as a priority channel and is patched to Federal Interop. I locked out BAPERN AW4 due to interference issues but it historically has been patched to Boston Citywide so nothing should be missed. 

***For some scheduled events the feed will often be brought up the night before as many events start early in the morning***

Tactical Feed for special events / work incidents in the Boston Area

This feed gathers public safety InterOp channels in an attempt to provide a single place to listen to event communications. It is quite specific to Boston in terms of conventional channels but includes all State Police Events talkgroups.

Depending on the event some channels/talkgroups may be turned off in an attempt to reduce non event related traffic.

The below channels are pre-programmed Events channels. I may also activate this feed for working incidents not included on the channels/talkgroups below if that incident is not on another Broadcastify feed.
