The Radio Reference Forums are a great thing, there are so many people here with so much knowledge, and I really appreciate all the help. One, of the many, awesome features is the ability to follow threads or forum topics you are interested in. Many people with an abundance of knowledge are following topics such as Uniden Scanners, SDR information and decoding, Whistler Scanners, Military topics and more. But, these same people may not be following other topics. For example, I have Radio Shack and Whistler scanners, so I don't follow the Uniden topics because, for the most part, I am not able to answer questions on these scanners.
With that said, I urge everyone posting to think about what you are posting and where to put it. If it is a question about favorites lists, DMR or NXDN on your Uniden scanner use the Uniden forum for better responses, if it is a Whistler scanner issue use the Whistler forum or Whistler Support topic for better answers. If it is a state or local agency or frequency question post it in that states forum.
Too often I'm seeing specific scanner brand/model questions or state/local questions popping up in the general scanning forum where the people with answers may not be following that topic. I have found that I get much better responses if I post in the correct forum and often get ignored or general/vague responses when I don't.
Just a thought and what I found helps everyone with the search for information on the forums. Mods, if you feel this is the wrong spot for this post, feel free to move it.
