Guthrie County, monitored daily

NCISS is operated by a licensed Iowa ham radio operator who monitors this system every day — so when a talkgroup changes or a channel goes quiet, it gets noticed and the page stays accurate. This isn't a feed pulled into a distant national aggregator; it's a curated local stream built from what's actually on the air.

Guthrie County public safety runs on the Iowa Statewide Interoperable Communications System (ISICS) — a P25 Phase II trunked radio network. A conventional analog scanner can't follow a trunked system; the network assigns channels dynamically and organizes traffic into talkgroups. NCISS decodes the trunk and streams the talkgroups as plain audio in your browser.

Free, with no catch

No ads, no pre-roll, no paywall. Talkgroup names are visible to everyone, not locked behind a subscription.

One feed, the whole county

Honest about coverage

A handful of Guthrie County talkgroups are monitored but not yet streamed publicly — we tell you what's live and what isn't, not just what's convenient.

Local, not national

Guthrie County scanner FAQ

Is the Guthrie County scanner free?

Yes. Every NCISS stream is free — no ads, no pre-roll, no paywall. Open a stream and you're listening.

What does the Public Safety stream include?

Guthrie County law enforcement, fire dispatch, fire tactical channels, and EMA call and tactical traffic — all combined in one stream.

Which communities does it cover?

The Guthrie County Sheriff and area fire departments dispatch on the channels carried here — covering Guthrie Center, Panora, Lake Panorama, Yale, Bagley, Stuart, and the rural areas.

Are any Guthrie County channels encrypted?

No. The talkgroups streamed here are unencrypted. A few additional Guthrie County talkgroups — like Law 2, Jail, and Roads — are monitored but not currently streamed publicly.

Why does it sound different from an old scanner?

Guthrie County runs on the ISICS P25 Phase II trunked network, not conventional VHF. A standard analog scanner can't follow trunked talkgroups. NCISS decodes the P25 system directly and streams it in plain audio.

How current is the audio?

Streams run 24/7 and are typically 30–60 seconds behind real time, normal for internet streaming. Not suitable for emergency response. If you need emergency services, call 911.
