rfburns said:Why post an encrypted TG that will just pollute the database? Too many people use the RR database info who don't have a clue about how their scanner works. Someone will put 4035 in their scanner. Then they will post here or on PRO-95 or wherever wanting help with their radio and wanting to know why it broke after they put in a new TG. They'll say I put this new TG in my radio and now it stops on that TG all the time and makes a horid noise. Can you help me fix my radio, come over to my house and I'll even give you a cup of coffee to fix it. Just leave it out of the database and don't confuse the appliance operators who don't even open the user's manual.
jd970 said:Do you think putting a notation of (Encrypted) next to the description would correct the ambiguity of what’s a standard channel and what’s encrypted? I guess that a majority of scanner owners would understand in quick hurry what Encrypted meant in context to the talk group listing after they heard a few transmissions.
Since there's only a few channels, shouldn't polute too bad. Maybe we could put a new table on the database page, like we did with the Unknown talk groups. Jay
