I'm going to catch a lot of flak for this but, There's no uniformity of Service types in the Database. Sometimes state DOTs are listed as Public service, sometimes as transportation. Prisons and jails are sometimes 1 of 3 different law types instead of corrections. City buses are a variety of things, as well as dog catchers.There are utility companies listed as public service, business and law. I don't mean confusing multi use talkgroups, but ones that have in the description that say they are one thing but the service type is not correct. I looks like every state admin has grouped things differently. Also,by whatever magic the home patrol weekly update is compiled there's no uniformity on what goes in state and county wide systems. Some states have what is in the nationwide list listed again under county systems and again as statewide systems in effect "triplicating" the channels scanned. Someone is about to post "Submit corrections" thinking I'm just talking about a few listings in a small area. I usually drive 500 miles a day. It's everywhere. The state admins or whoever need to decide on a format of how to group things and I'll be happy to submit my share. I'm just trying to make things better. I don't think this stuff is noticeable unless you travel a lot.
Theres other issues too, like "Freeway service patrols". Where should they be? I'll whine about that stuff later.
