The Microwave portion appears to have gone live.
Home - Spectrum Management System
Some of the searches are non-functional right now; the data appears incomplete. (I did a frequency range search and got some results, but the descriptive location and licensee name fields are blank.)
Changes I've noticed from Spectrum Direct:
- the search pages allow you to specify different categories of records (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, etc, as far as the microwave search is concerned).
- transmit and receive freqs are listed separately, instead of on the same line.
- latitude and longitude is specified in the search
results as
ddd:mm:ss. Leading zeros appear to be dropped, so what used to show up as 730502 now shows up as 73:5:2. In the search page for geographic areas, degrees/minutes/seconds are separated into six separate fields (and, like many other services these days, but for reasons I can't understand, longitude is now listed
before latitude). (As an aside, I wish you could enter decimal degrees in these searches, and/or retrieve results in the same format!)
- there are scroll bars in the results, internal to the web page (i.e. not just the main page scroll bar itself).
- results are paginated (i.e. like threads here on the forum are paginated after 50 posts) with 10 records per page. I really dislike this idea, because I do a number of cut and paste activities regularly on large searches. Maybe I need to explore CSV results more (see below).
- you can request CSV download and/or PDF download instead of an online HTML display. CSV shows all the data in one file, of course, non-paginated etc. PDF appears to be an HTML4 table representation of the data without pagination.
- Some of the fields use unexpected formats, such as the lat/long as listed above. Frequency is listed in MHz but with
commas (i.e. "2,211.25").
EDIT: Actually, this is a function of importing the CSV into Excel; they're saved as straight numbers.
- A number of the fields that are blank in the current data have their data represented elsewhere. Example: "Occupied Bandwidth" is shown as the first part of the "Class of Emission" (i.e. 6M00G7WDT). Frequency Record ID is blank, Tx Channel Capacity is blank; Rx Channel Capacity is also blank, as are a number of the antenna-specific fields. Licensee Name is, as I said before, empty, but the licensee name is appended to the Licensee Address (possibly in error).
- Results are limited (unknown to how many, though I got 47 pages/477 records at one point) in HTML. Unsure if the CSV and/or PDF results are similarly limited.
- The geographic breakdowns are now by province, not region. So you can request just Alberta, you don't have to take "Prairies, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut".
Here's a sample of the CSV that I just downloaded, with all fields activated.
Code:
