How coverage is spread across South Carolina
South Carolina's 143 feeds are spread over 47 counties: 21 have a single feed, 15 have two to four, and 11 have five or more. The 5 largest listings — Aiken (17), York (12), Greenville (10), Cherokee (6) and Spartanburg (6) — carry 36% of everything streaming from the state.
Of the 11 counties with their own page, 7 carry a police or sheriff channel, 11 carry fire and 7 carry EMS; there are also aviation in 1, railroad in 7, weather in 6 and amateur radio in 6.
Chester, Florence, Horry and Pickens have fire or EMS feeds but no law-enforcement channel listed. That pattern usually means the local police or sheriff has encrypted its radio, so fire and medical dispatch is what remains open to listen to there.
Feeds are filed by county, not by town. If your town is not in the tables above, look for the county it sits in — city police and fire channels are listed under it. The guide to finding your local feed covers the rest.

Before you listen
Scanner listening is legal across the United States, with narrow exceptions — the rules by state. If your local police channel is missing, it has most likely been encrypted; fire and EMS usually remain open in the same area.
Not an emergency service. Scanner audio can be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable. In an emergency, call 911.
