PLEASE NOTE: All Dare County law enforcement agencies, including sheriff (DCSO) and police dispatch (Beach Law), have moved to encrypted channels. This means all scanners, including the one used to supply this online feed, are no longer able to pick up law enforcement dispatch communications.

This feed is provided as a courtesy to anyone who is interested in listening to Dare County's finest! For more information on codes and unit traffic, see http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Dare_County_%28NC%29 and www.obxairwaves.com (This feed is also mirrored on the OBX AirWaves site). Scanner feed is also avilable on your cell phone or tablet using Scanner Radio or other apps. Please note that there is about a 30-60 second delay from actual transmission to your listening device.

Conventional analog chanels scanned:

• Dare VHF Dispatch (Fire/EMS/Ocean Rescue paging) 155.7375MHz
• NC Forestry (analog VHF/air operations)

Talkgroups scanned on Dare County P25 800MHZ simulcast system:

• Fire (includes all TAC talkgroups, NC Forestry, first responder, and rescue units)
• EMS (including Medflight and other helos)
• Ocean Rescue (including all beach lifeguards except for the town of Kill Devil Hills; supervisors only)
• Public safety interop frequencies (NC VIPER system patches assigned by Dare Central during events)
• Sherrif and town PD unencrypted operations frequencies (only used during events, no dispatch traffic, cop-to-cop traffic only)
• Additionally, any new or non-programmed talkgroups are still picked up, but without alpha tags. Only encrypted law enforcement traffic and Dare County school system (buses) are NOT scanned on this sytem.

NC VIPER (Bodie Island site) is also openly scanned during and after major events or disasters to catch local emergency managment and statewide rescue groups. This system is otherwise normally locked out as its consists of mostly NCSHP and NC Wildlife comms.

Feed is currently provided by a Uniden BCD996XT fed by an outdoor 800MHz directional antenna pointed at the Bodie Island tower site in south Nags Head. Raspberry Pi with battery backup supplies the connection.
