Saltgrass Link System Feed in Texas is listed as a statewide radio system but the system only has repeaters in 22 counties in the Galveston and Houston Area.
It is only my opinion and I am defiantly not complaining but I think we need to keep the frequency database and audio descriptions correct for our listeners and viewers. It needs to be described as an area wide network not a state wide and not put on every county’s live audio page in the state. Only the counties where the repeaters systems resides in.

I never noticed that...

Another interesting point is that if you look at Hays County (only chose this county "randomly" since it's my county), the database page toolbar for "Live Audio" shows "Live Audio- (3)" feeds. But when you click on the Hays County Live Audio page it shows 4 clearly, one being Saltgrass. See what I mean here in the grey toolbar on the left.

There are no Saltgrass Repeaters in Hays County, but there is one in Austin (Travis) and San Antonio (Bexar) on either side of Hays & Comal Counties (my "stomping" grounds). I too would say that this should be reclassified. Even though I can hear that Austin repeater from my house in San Marcos I think "Statewide" feeds should be reserved for just that- statewide. In the case of Texas, I can't think of a single radio system that is truly "statewide," amateur, commercial or government.
