How coverage is spread across Wisconsin

Wisconsin's 234 feeds are spread over 73 counties: 23 have a single feed, 36 have two to four, and 14 have five or more. The 5 largest listings — Milwaukee (17), Racine (11), Brown (8), Dane (8) and Waukesha (8) — carry 22% of everything streaming from the state.

Of the 14 counties with their own page, 11 carry a police or sheriff channel, 14 carry fire and 13 carry EMS; there are also aviation in 3, railroad in 5, weather in 11 and amateur radio in 8.

Calumet, Door and Iron 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.

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.
