Another vote for air traffic control. I live under the flight path of San Diego's Lindbergh Field and I'd love to hear what's going on.
The last time I checked, LiveATC.net would not allow third-party app developers to include their feeds in their apps. I'll check with the owner of the site to see if that is still the case.
The owner of LiveATC.net still does not wish to make his feeds available to third-party app developers at this time. I did find out that he's working on an app for the BlackBerry though.
Nope, the feed needs to be one that is being sent to RadioReference.com's Icecast server. If you want you can send your feed to RadioReference.com while still providing it the way you are now, go to "Becoming a Live Audio Feed Provider on RadioReference.com" for more information.
When you run the program for the first time, if it reports that it can't download the directory, you may need to set your TCP/IP APN settings. The settings are different for each carrier, you can find them here.
when is says "Scanner is Offline" deos it mean you are NEVER able to pick up that particular scanner? Are they on a different Channel we are not able to pick up?
It means that the person that volunteered to provide that feed isn't doing so at the moment.
Most of the scanner feeds are available all the time but some are part-time or may not be too reliable. In the future I plan on displaying in the directory an icon or something to indicate which feeds are up and which aren't so if a county/area has more than one feed available for listening it'll be easy to see which ones are online.

To add a feed for area you'll need a scanner and you'll need to send the audio from it to RadioReference.com, once the feed is added there it'll show up in BerryScanner's directory automatically.
