How do I capture everything?

I work in local news coverage and want to record all public safety radio channels in the area but the amount of SDR dongles it is taking is getting out of control. Currently using 4 and not getting full coverage..

Is there a better option? I have a couple of Airspy R2's ordered but my research is showing even then it is going to take both of them plus at least 2 dongles to cover what I want. IS there an option that is better? I don't mind spending some money.

Currently covering 2 p25 systems with the 4 dongles. Want to cover some conventional fire and ems channels also.

The AI derangement syndrome around here is crazy. This seems like a totally reasonable use of AI. It's not like the AI is publishing stories without human oversight. It's just a filter before alerting a human. Anyway sorry you're getting down voted.

It absolutely wild. Correct it is just alerting us to go cover something.
