TRS Database Updates
Sounds like I'm not alone in wondering about these updates, ones in which the agency/county/system are shown in GREEN as having had a change, but when you look closer into their information, it's unclear as to exactly what has changed AND whether we should make any changes to our scanners or radios.
Since it was mentioned above, lets use the City of Atlanta DTRS as an example. It was recently shown in GREEN as having a system update. When you clicked on "Atlanta DTRS" and looked closer, it said something about changing from Site #001 to Site 001 - or something similar. I looked at the control channels I've been using for some time, and none of the four (4) of them changed. As best I can tell, nothing changed in the database that would have affected us as users of the RR database or as monitors of the Atlanta DTRS.
So, my questions remain:
1: In this case, what was updated that we needed to know about?, and
2. what changes did we need to make as a result of following the GREEN color coding for Atlanta?
It also raises another question I've asked before - if nothing afecting our successful monitoring of that trunked system changed, and only an administrative change involving the RR database that is purely cosmetic in nature, do we really need them to be shown in GREEN, giving us the impression that action is required on our part?
Not trying to cause a problem --just apparently asking a clarification question that I'm not the only person asking.
