We Are the Media Source for Assignment Desk Online Scanner Monitoring Systems

Scanner Master has been serving local and national media for more than three decades. As the nations largest independent scanner dealer, we sell scanners, antennas, accessories and offer programming services to those television and radio stations, newspapers and traffic reporting services.

For the last eight years Scanner Master has been developing and selling the Rangecast online police scanner monitoring system. With nine patents and more pending, Rangecast is a highly refined yet simple-to-use method for managing and controlling multiple scanners which can be located centrally or all around your market area to provide you complete coverage for your assignment desk.

However, we also serve local and national television stations and networks, including NBC, CNN, Cox and others as well as local affiliates in Miami, Orlando, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, New York and practically every market in the country. We have been the go-to scanner and software supplier for radio stations, traffic reporting services including Total Traffic, and major newspapers such as the Miami Herald, Atlanta Journal Constitution and dozens more. What sets us apart from the competition is that we know scanners as well as or better than any other dealer in the country. We understand your needs and constraints and we know which scanners would serve your newsroom or assignment desk best.

With our Rangecast system, your entire newsroom staff can individually have web access to one bank of scanners located in your office. Scanners can also be remoted at bureau offices (or staff homes) to any staff member with a web browser and a password to your custom scanner online page. You can even monetize the Rangecast system by embedding it in your public web site to make it available to all your readers or viewers.
