There’s an App for That!

While in a meeting with some friends this week at a local dive, we got into a discussion of comparing apps (application software) for smart phones such as the i-Phone, Blackberry, Droid, etc.  I was introduced to 5-O Radio.  It’s a web-based scanner app that pulls audio feed from scanners directed to internet sites.  Although it does not allow you to simply input scanner frequencies, the $1.99 version (Pro)  does allow you to do a search for particular sources.  I came across several railroad subdivisions, but only one CSX sub – in Michigan.  But, I can now listen in to local police, fire, EMS, and public safety calls on my i-Phone.  If you have an App suggestion, drop me a line via phone, or email, bill@fbcmadisonville.com.  My mailing address is Bill Thomas, 1025 Lakewood Drive, Madisonville, KY 42431.  I look forward to hearing from you.
