I got tired of missing things which were going on around me, and my scanner was more annoying than helpful at times, so I threw a bunch of software (and a bit of hardware) at the problem. Questions welcome!
Very cool. I'd put the demo on the front page, actually, so people don't even have to hit the 'Demo' button to see the list construct itself.
Is this a Smartnet system? Are you running a wideband front end with a dedicated DDC for each physical channel?
(I did something like this for the Seattle-area trunked radio system a few years ago -- http://www.ke5fx.com/equinox/equinox.html -- but users have to download a dedicated Win32 client, and it only allows a single user to control the hardware at any given time.)
If you mean the computers, I have a couple of boring x86_64 Linux boxes. If you mean the radio stuff, I'm not quite ready to describe the "secret sauce" just yet. When I am, I'll post something on my /w/ pages (URL in profile).
How does LiveATC handle multiple frequencies? Can you follow ground, approach, departure and all of that at the same time? It seems like you'd need to do that to deal with all of the handoffs.
For the talkgroup filtering: noted, thanks! It'll become even more important when you want to switch other cities and agencies in and out. The other day with that nutcase in San Jose, I really wished I could just add their special channels to my personal feed. That's my next big hurdle to clear.
This is awesome. The water treatment guys are hilarious. Makes me want to get my ham license so that I can start playing around with these kind of cool softradios.

Edit: Feature request - the ability to filter out certain talkgroups. The streets guys have verbal diarrhea.

Is this a Starship Troopers reference? Because kudos, if so.

However: I really can't make out what people are saying on the radio. (Not just this one, in general.) Am I alone?
