[sudo-discuss] Oakland Police Radio Feed

[Jake]

does anyone know what the frequency is?  One can buy a $12 SDR receiver 
which plugs into the USB, and can decode many kinds of radio signals 
including fancy encryptable signals used by some police depts.

once we get reception going, it will be appropriate to talk about choosing 
a server to host a stream.
