If this has already been suggested, please disregard but I'll post anyway. Using the database/web import with proper software is an amazing feature that this website offers, but for the database I'd like to offer 2 suggestions.
First,
Have the database admins for each state go through whats in there and maybe add an alpha tag to any frequency that is missing one? To be able to load in a large amount of frequencies with just a mouse click is nice, but once it's loaded into the software, then your scanner, and you have no idea who is transmitting because no tag shows, that seems to me to be very frustrating.
Second,
Organizing state information (non trunked) by County as opposed to town might better serve those that are looking to use the import feature for, say, a trip or vacation to a specific state. Take 1 county, put all Police in a table for that county, same with Fire and/or EMS. If you take a look at Massachusetts and go to Barnstable, Plymouth, and Norfolk Counties you will see what I mean. It serves 2 purposes. Keeps the Database up to date and makes it easier to find a certain frequency by county, and it also makes it much easier using the web import feature to better organize scanners/radios once the information is loaded into software.
I'm not an Admin, and I know this has the possibility to be a huge undertaking, but if it could be done it would truly make the database even better than it is, if that's possible?
Thoughts?
