Database questions

[surfacemount]

I asked in the TN sub first, and I did a cursory search.

The other day, I noticed a factory, and wondered what frequencies they were using. So I check the database, and could not find it by name, or by looking at the tn>county drilldown.

I go to the FCC, and the site is presently being silly due to the shutdown, so I start searching and find a place that can pull FCC data.

I found a ton of business users that aren't in the RR Database (as far as I can search).

Can I simply figure out who the TN DB admin is, and show them the site for addition, or do we not take those kinds of emitters/users, or... what am I missing here?

Do you have all the pertinent info required for a complete RRDB submission? Just providing the FCC licenses alone aren't enough for a submission. You need to confirm frequency(ies), TGID(s) if applicable & tone(s): CT/DCS/CC/RAN in use. Please see the Submission Guidelines Page for more details.

It is not permitted to submit information straight from the FCC or other source without personally confirming the information from your own monitoring. Just because a frequency is licensed does not mean it is in use. Additionally, you would only have the frequency and potential user, but direct monitoring would still be required to obtain the other pertinent information (mode, PL tone, talkgroup, etc.).

If you want to get information for these business users into the DB, break out your scanner and/or SDR and do some monitoring to confirm the necessary information and submit it to the DB using the "Submit Changes" button.

The RR database is NOT created using FCC data, though there is a section in the database you can search the FCC data, the RR database is created from VERIFIED member submissions, once you monitor it, know what it is being used for, and have the other information for a database entry based on what you heard then it can be submitted.

there is tons of Not Reported, old and only licensed never used FCC data - a nice source but not something that should be submitted to RR without the required PL/DPL, NAC, DMR Codes etc - ie: Actually heard in use (over the air, not standing near someone talking into a device)
