We are thrilled to share some exciting news with our EnidScanner.com community! During recent severe weather events, we hit a new maximum record of 503 listeners! This milestone demonstrates the growing importance of EnidScanner.com as a reliable source for near-live radio communications during emergencies.

But that’s not all – we’re delighted to announce the addition of Garfield County Emergency Management monitoring to our feed. This enhancement allows our listeners to tune in to vital messages from the weather command center and field reports, providing crucial information during severe storms and emergencies.

The inclusion of Garfield County Emergency Management monitoring is a significant step forward in our mission to keep our community informed and safe. By providing access to real-time updates from official sources, we empower our listeners to make informed decisions during challenging situations.

Introduction to Radio Scanner

Setting up Radio Scanner

Set-up Scanner Radio for Phase II

Posted on February 17, 2021February 18, 2021 by ServerJeff

It is imperative, that you take time to properly set up your Scanner Radio app for Enid Online Scanner in order to get the best listening experience! When Phase II completes, Enid Police and Enid Fire will be operating on the Right audio channel. Garfield County Sheriff, Lahoma PD, Waukomis PD, and OHP Troop J will be operating the Left audio channel. If you do not have a balance control setup, you will hear double traffic at the same volume, which will make it very difficult to distinguish what you are hearing.

Please, watch the video below for information on setting up the app.
