Monitoring the local repeaters.

I saw your post re the Android app for listening to the local repeaters. Just for information, the feeds can be listened to using any web browser by visiting http://www.manxrepeaters.com/index.php/78-iom-repeaters/84-gb3im-listen
Registration is not required.
Listeners can also visit  http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/ctid/4531, where there is a choice of selection of player types available. The web player seems to work well enough.
I have used the “911 Scanner” application on my Windows ‘phone and that works well.
It’s worth noting that the streaming delay is something like 35 seconds. I think that this is due to buffering in the player rather than a delay anywhere else.
