Hi,
I saw the comment that it is a limited subset of the data, and that's absolutely true. I'm going to use the opportunity of moving to a new server to try to add in some more fields of data and possibly new features like the Google Map integration (with full credit to
jonathanmorgan.net, that was a great idea!).
What would
you like to see added?

Thanks Alasdair. I use your search occasionally, and find it useful, especially in
cases where IC/SD is down.
For starts, I'd suggest if you could add:
Callsign: getting callsign and doing further search allows to you find all other frequencies
related to that licence.
TX ERP: not just TX power, includes losses and gains. This gives some idea how far you
can normally hear the system. TAFL gives it in dBW, so you might be good to convert
to straight W (I'm used to dBW, but not everybody is). Of course, range is also
affected by antenna elevation, surrounding terrain etc.
Class of Emission: gives a good idea (in conjunction with Necessary Bandwidth).
what type of signal to expect. I am able to distinguish normal analog voice from NFM,
P25, NXDN, TRBO etc. Of course, these are coded, so people would need to get used to
decoding, but TAFL lists these, and it's really not too big a challenge.
I can think of others, but will start with these.
