RRDB v2.0 Q&A and Feedback Discussion

[blantonl]

Would love to hear your feedback, reports of problems, and cool feature requests you have for the RRDB v2.0 release which was released to production on Sunday, May 15th, 2022

RR Database Home

The most complete database of radio communications data

www.radioreference.com

Current Known issues:

• No ability to view input frequencies on agency pages Fixed 5/16 @ 9:50 AM CT
• Agency FCC assigned callsigns aren't available

For now, at least for the next week or so, we'll make most functions that will normally be available only to premium subscribers to everyone as we gather feedback. Things like queries, filters etc will be then shortly available only to premium subscribers.

Thanks for your patience and feedback, look forward to to hearing from you:

PS: If you like it, please tell me so. If you don't like it/something etc, please professionally tell me so as well, and be cool about it.

PPS: No, there is no dark theme available.

Login / logout from the db should not dump you back to the front page of the site (login especially).

One of my main things is the Wiki. I think there needs to be a point of contact for whomever modifies them and there isn't to either add, modify, or delete information. I believe in the past I have posted and nobody seems to know. Can we please on the Wiki pages add someone?

I noticed in the pop-up window for the RRDB v2.0 County Page Tour the text says "Welcome to the new RadioReference Database v2.0 Beta"

The "Near Me" button only allows GeoIP location, I am on Starlink Internet and my GeoIP location is always wrong due to which ground station I am going through. An option to enter a Zipcode would be nice.

The ScannerMaster ad still covers part the menu bar (or whatever it is called) text when the menu sidebar is collapsed.

The NearMe button does not necessarily use a GeoIP function, it uses your browser's location data. That may or may not be derived from GeoIP data, but definitely on mobile devices it will use the GPS function of your device.

There is already a Zip Code browse function implemented on the United States' browse page

Oh my lord that is no bueno. Let me fix this.

Can you have the tutorial scroll down when it's teaching about the "queries" category? I was so confused by what it was telling me and I wasn't able to see if until I zoomed to -60%. My current device is a laptop so no large screen to see the whole bar.

For all the browsers that I tested on, it auto-scrolls the page down during the "teaching" process.

I was submitted a db change when I was redirected to the "my submission" page - no issue with this.
Can you make the ESPN part clickable? Thanks.

EDIT: FIXED

I thought it was a Firefox problem. I tried Brave a few minutes ago (must have been right after you fixed it) and it didn't happen on that browser. Now it's good on both.

Very odd. It didn't auto scroll on my browser. It's possible it was just mine, but I'm using the lastest firefox browser.

Noticed TG info for DMR users no longer displayed in Tone column when a frequency query is run as in the past. Only PL/DPL.

The RadioReference Wiki is a user-editable resource. Any registered RadioReference user can edit the articles in the Wiki (with the exception of a few articles that are locked).

It's there. That system is accessible from the five counties that it operates in.

We're not doing scanner warnings anymore. I know this is big for you, but we're just not doing it anymore considering the myriad of different systems vs scanner support there is now. We could be knee deep in warnings about all kinds of different systems.

Sorry. It’s as nice as I can be. If it’s not broken don’t break it. Where’s the use 1.0 button? I’m glad I finished the research for my June travels last Thursday when I was still able to use the 1.0 version.
