Awesome work Lindsay! I am looking forward to the updates!

I see on the "Service Tags" #19 is mis spelled = Railroda Not sure if that is something that was cut and pasted into your wiki page that might cause trouble later? Or just a simple typo.

Also, I like the fact that Priemium subscibers only will be able to use For Sale/Wanted Forums, but I see a large uproar coming over this. I completely understand why this should be this way and completely agree with it.

I look forward to using the new Admin features!

Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to this website and the hobby!

These 3 are fantastic...nice work!!

• A new common frequency database will be available in addition to the existing legacy RadioReference.com Database, to store frequencies for Cordless Phones, Federal, Military, Aircraft, GMRS/FRS/Itinerant, roaming businesses, and other common frequencies that have less of a locality, and more of an assignment perspective.
• All Frequencies and Talkgroups will be "tagged" with the following service type tags:
• Ability to watch individual agencies in MyRR

Thanks and keep up the great work Lindsay

Great job Lindsay, as always. I see Matt has mention about the For-sale forums and think it is a great idea. As far as the up-roar, I think people will get over it.
Take care

Railroda- Italian for railroad.

Matt, you misspelled premium.

Stamp of Approval

You always amaze me when you role out a new version. You have my stamp of approval.

lol, so I did. lol

I pointed that out to Lindsay in case it was cut and pasted from something that may be affected later. lol. Should have checked my own post. sorry.

All I can say is - wow, that's some list of stuff.

I do have a concern, though; I see several places where FCC data is going to play a role. We all know that FCC data can be quite out of date, particularly for transmitters that have been abandoned, license expired or services that have migrated to another frequency (or are absorbed into a trunk system). They simply don't always drop that license data, and it's not always picked up by another service. If/when that happens, they simply haven't the manpower to update their own databases. Why include such potentially inaccurate data?

I just hope the subscription requirement for the Used/For Sale forum is not an indication of any plans to slowly etch away at other "free" parts of the website.


On a side note, I hope there will be a way to change your settings so you can have a dark background with bright lettering, kinda like "batblack."

I think it will help weed out the bogus rip-off con artist that have been increasing in the for sale forum recently. Being an RR premium subscriber is of course no guarantee of a persons credibility, but I think there is less chance of problems.

Exactly the reasoning behind this move and nothing else. I can assure you it is not to take away free parts of the site, IE the database. That will never, ever, happen. Period. The FS forums are a privilege and not a right. A privilege Lindsay will make available to premium subscribers only.

Only premium subscribers can use For Sale and Wanted Forums

How is this going to be setup?

Are non premium subscribers going to be allowed to at LEAST browse the forums.
and just have posting priviledges(sp) removed for those 2 boards?

Or will they be completely blocked off?

I would imagine they will not be visible unless you are a subscriber. Sort of like a "private" forum. If non subscribers could see the forum I would think that would defeat the purpose as they could still deal via PM

Alternatively, maybe it will just be that you can't post. If you can't post, you can't advertise something for sale or advertise for something you want.

I guess you could say that, that little detail hasn't been explained quite yet. :lol:
