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.

There used to be a way to listen online to OPD's
radio communications

This required someone in the city to connect an analog radio and serve
the content digitally. They regularly had over 100 listeners, and
peaked at 3000+ during crisis events. But it was hosted in an office
that just closed shop and so as of today, they had to take down their
feed. Right now I don't think there's another way to listen to OPD
online.
Perhaps this is a gap that Sudoroom could fill? Does anybody know how
to get something like this set up? I imagine we'd need to relay to a
data center because of the large number of streamers. Or maybe just
colocate locally? Does anyone know a cheap colo in Oakland?
