I see the program has not been updated since August 2018, can anyone tell me if this program still gets new data every month from the FCC frequency files but I dont think it's doing that. Or is there a place to get an update of the program. I did send an email about this to the person but don't know if I will get a reply someone else said they sent him an email and he never got a reply.
any information welcome
Steve

If you are refering to the site below, I assume all data is updated at the same time, it says the latest update for the DSD+ FMP24 file was December 21st (see highlighted line in blue).

The website link is posted above. Go to the quick import tab and scroll down to the bottom you'll see the Dec 2020 date. I can only assume he updates the rest of the site with the same info at the same time. He just might not change the date on the other pages. I don't know for sure.

When I go to digitalfrequencysearch.com and do a search it shows this date after every search

I was wondering the same thing for a while. mine also shows 2019:

It looks like when you go to this page and just get the raw data, it is updated:

I see what you are talking about and I did two tests using NXDN data for licenses issued recently (but before December date). Neither system came up, using both the site location and the licensee location. So it appears the search data is not being updated, only the raw data.

I would suggest everyone does a similar search just to confirm what I'm seeing.

I don't use DSD+
if you look at the attached file this is how I do my search with the program, if I click on any of the buttons to do a search the search results are from MONDAY AUGUST 5 2019 I don't understand why the results are old, I have a sds100 scanner and use these searches for the frequency searches

Probably because the man putting out the data wasn't getting any support and stopped updating the data. See my updated post comments in post #12

Yes, it was nice, but fortunately (for now) he continues to update the raw data for DSD+ which I use, especially when searching or traveling.

So I just downloaded the raw data from my New Haven County at the FMPFrequencyFile page, put it into Excel. Then I performed "Text to Columns" , and now I can sort by Entity or Emission or whatever. Just have to do a little leg work instead of having it handed to me on a silver platter as before. But at least it is up to date info now!

And if you don't need the entire raw data file you can remove everything except your state/county. So this is a very good way for those that don't mind a little extra work. Thanks for the suggestion @pro106import
