Just do a submission if you have data to update or post in the Arkansas subforum if you have a question.
I don't have time to match the channel to the TGID in the codeplugs. Looks like everyone's loss.
@kayn1n32008 What's funny? There are active TGIDs in the codeplug that are not in the DB.
And you have the answer just think if we all were like you.
Sounds like someone was nice enough to build you a code plug so you did not have to.

How many unknowns have you identified? How much more time would it take making the submission the proper way versus private messaging an admin?
I have 94 submissions. Thanks for your waste of data.
At least 7. It's a new template for a new agency. Again, I don't have time to map it out to hex.
You don't need to include the HEX conversions in your submissions, pretty sure the DB does this automatically. The DEC TGIDs & descriptions will suffice. Screenshot excerpt from the database submission guidelines page here
Correct, DEC format is sufficient...preferred, actually. A simple submission to the system in question could've avoided this thread and all of the drama that came along with it. It would've been very easy to ask in the submission for the admin to reach out to you via email if necessary.
From hex*
We can enter HEX talkgroups as well if need be, so no need to convert to DEC. Either way, we can handle it.
Or the drama could have been avoided by the DB admin PMg me instead of being smart.
I meant from hex to decimal.
And which dbadmin are you referring to, me? I'm giving it to you straight. No admins from Arkansas have replied to this thread, so I don't see any evidence of an admin being "smart". You seem awfully defensive, however.
If you take a look at the AWIN change history page, @wbloss is the db admin who has handled the most recent AWIN changes. Feel free to reach out to them directly if you choose not to follow the advice given to you on this thread. I'm done here
Post them in the AWIN thread then. Whatever info you have. Forums > Arkansas > AWIN thread. I think it’s pinned at the top.
DB Admin for AR here - send however you want - use the submission process or PM me directly or email wbloss@GMail.com or smoke signals...
Just odd to want to go against the process in place. Raises flags or whatever. But I’m sure an admin will weed it out if it’s not verifiable info so it’s whatever.
I have spent $100's of dollars IDing systems on my own time driving over 1000 miles plus Talkgoups to better the community for all here just to let you know. Sorry you feel the way you do.
Many of us did our "war driving" and time spending and money on gas etc to confirm things... Its how I became an admin actually back in the day. Ruffling feathers is how I am not one now, but thats another story. I still do research and confirm when I can and submit. That is how its done. PM's and emails work good, and sometimes posting on the forums, if your DBA reads them. A few do. For a long time only a few of us did, but only a few. Now the newer crop seems to be trying to get r done, but only time will tell.
