now its working just fine have been listening the past hour quess it might have been wanting to take a nap earlier

Actually it was the problem I have been fighting for three days. I was dropping packets on my internet connection. Seemed to get worse when the weather got hot.

I just replaced my cable modem and it seems to be running much better than it was before.

Hopefully this cures the dropped connections problem!

So far, so good. Comcast helpdesk support was actually pretty good -- 3 minute wait and the tech had a clue, swapping out the modem took 30 minutes. I find myself amazed.

Been running for 5 hours straight with no packet loss and without a dropped connection to the server. This is MUCH better than performance of late. I expect the connection reliability has gone up a whole lot compared to recent performance.

THANK YOU to everyone that uses the scanner for your patience while David and I have been working out the technical issues -- the bad connection apparently caused by an old and flaky cable modem, and the switchover to new server feed software.

I have settled on 17kbps for a data rate, is this working for ya'll? How about audio levels (Calvert feed)?
