Teamspeak is a software application that allows you to use voice communications to talk to others on the Internet. Since RR users typically will be using Teamspeak to listen to scanner audio feeds, this document does not describe how to set up your transmit audio. This document assumes that the computer you are installing Teamspeak on already has working audio.

1. Download Teamspeak


TS Win32 Client

TS Linux Client

TS Mac OS/X Client


2. Install Teamspeak


NOTE: There are many many Teamspeak servers out there providing scanner audio feeds. For the sake of this tutorial, we will use a fictitious (i.e. nonexistent) Teamspeak server called RR Teamspeak with the IP address of 192.168.1.100, port 8767. You will need to use different values for the Teamspeak server that you want to connect to.


3. Start Teamspeak


4. Click on Connections, then select Connect

5. Right-Click on Servers, then select Add Server

6. Give the new server a friendly name (example: RR Teamspeak) and press <Enter>

7. Fill out the details for that new server


The values you enter on the righthand side will vary depending upon the Teamspeak server you are connecting to.

Label: RR Teamspeak

The label should be a 'short' friendly name that you want it to show up as on the left

Server Address: 192.168.1.100:8767

8767 is the default port. If the server you want to connect to has a port of 8767, you can omit the : and everything after it. However, since many Teamspeak servers run on odd ports, it is better to always include the port as well. If a server doesn't list a port, then it is using the default port 8767.

Also, you may see a hostname in place of the IP address, example only: rrts.radioference.com:8768

8. Click Connect to connect to the server


If all goes well, you should be logged into the Teamspeak server and should see something vaguely similar to what you see below.
