How SF Scanner Works

SF Scanner uses livestream from OpenMHZ made by Luke Berndt. If SF Scanner provides you value please consider supporting Luke. OpenMHZ is feed by an SDR in San Francisco hosted by Greg Albrecht. Together they stream San Francisco's P25 Radio System owned by the city. The system includes all primary police, fire, EMS, sheriff, public works, airport, special event and hospital channels in SF.
