To simplify what I dont understand:
My 536 has a favorite group set to the county i'm working in and surrounding areas.
(conventional) systems in that group which SHOULD be active based on GPS of where I am (my range is typically set to 25 miles) is not showing local systems as active.
When i look at location information in the scanner for those systems, its showing a GPS location and range far outside what it should be.
I have discovered that the city/county has about 7 active licenses. Each of those licenses covers pretty much the same frequencies, and multiple transmitter locations.
I am aware that there are mountaintop repeaters across the county, all or most of them are simulcasting the same frequencies.
I was able to manually change the GPS info and range in my scanner to properly reflect what the system is doing in the "real world" which may or may not be correct in some of the ULS listings.
My question is, what do I need to put in my submission to update the database so that others dont have to do the same thing?
Where does that "location" and "range" data come from between the RR database and the uniden updates?
Would it be as simple as finding which ULS listing has the current frequencies listed to the correct locations, and submitting that license to the database, and advise that previous ones are incorrect or depreciated?
