I only have one Wiztronics city in my area, which is Winlock, WA. So at this point I've not purchased the NXDN upgrade yet. If I do get the upgrade, is there anything I need to be aware of that is different than just downloading the database and copying what I want into my favorites using ProScan?

You should be able to pick up the Chehalis site which is Site 19.

No -- as long as the administrator enters the data into the DB correctly.

With the smart aleck responses and down right hostility around here, there's zero incentive to add to the RR DB anymore.

I hear ya, there are always a couple of people that seem to thrive on negative attention. Sometimes it's best to simply ignore them and move on.

I'm within range of the Chelan county site and notice it only has a CC. I have an SDS200 but haven't done a lot of discovery with it yet, as there aren't many digital systems in this area. How do I find the other frequencies. Do I just do discovery mode on that system with just the CC entered? Does an LCN finder need to be done? Willing to help out however I can, thanks.

I don't know as I didn't submit data for that system. First, you'll need to see if it [the control channel] is still around. The next best method if you're serious about finding the frequencies is to use a RTL-SDR (or preferably an Airspy SDR.) Then you can use DSD+ to figure out the LCNs, etc. If you don't have much digital out there then it'll be very easy to spot the voice channels.

LCN Finder searches already known frequencies for the LCNs so that won't help you. Again, sitting on the control channel for a few hours with DSD+ will likely give you all the LCNs. Then you just need to determine the frequencies. If the site is busy then it'll take just a few minutes.
