RadioReference 2.0 is getting closer to fruition and with all of the effort that Lindsay is putting in to the site it will serve to give us more information in a more usable format. Much of this is information is already there and just needs to be translated into the different file formats that will be used. As stated in previous threads the site is becoming a subscription site in regards to extra added value searching, reporting, and downloading functions in relation to the database.
The Arizona database is a great resource for many of the common frequencies that traditional scannists seek. There is also a great depth of other information for trunked systems and frequencies from the lesser known agencies. However much of the information is incomplete. We need to start adding the inputs, tones, better descriptions, channels, modes and licenses.
Before reading any further please first read the following WIKI for Database Submission guidelines:

Below is additional information that will help speed the process.

If you find that additional information needs to be added or agencies or information needs to be regrouped for clarity or usability please state so here. If you would like to add Maps, 10 codes or other information that will assist the listener please let us know in this thread. Even the smallest update or addition is important.
