RATS provides full-time Internet audio streams of our 146.88 and 442.55 MHz repeaters through the free players on this website, and through the Broadcastify network.ย These streams are sourced directly from the repeater controller or from a C4FM monitor receiver at the repeater site.
DMR feeds are sourced from virtual hotspots running in the RATS data center, connected to the DMRVA Hotspot Network.ย No streams are currently available for TAC A/B/C or HEARS Link.ย For improved listenability, audio is processed prior to delivery, including automatic gain control, audio leveling, peak limiting, and comfort noise generation during received transmissions.
Many DMRVA talkgroups are available for individual monitoring using the BrandMeister Hoseline.
