148,

A lesser version? I beg to differ with your assessment - and your allegation that the material on there was stolen from here. A locally operated board, that is carefully maintained, will always - in my book - trump a national board. I am not here to bash RR, but there is simply too much going on to maintain an accurate nationwide database. I offer, as one example, my own (assisted ably by e911god) sub-board at http://www.eastcoastscanning.com/viewforum.php?f=41 Compare this to the Database maintained here http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&ctid=1860 and tell me which is superior?

As far as "superior" goes, I would not use that word for both websites. Personally, I prefer RR. RR includes inputs, if somebody submits them. Just looking at the URL you provided, you only have input frequencies for a fraction of the listings. I am biased since I do contribute financially to the RR website.

Being an EMT it helps me a ton to have inputs for surrounding towns and or places I travel to on a regular basis, in case I need to talk to them.

Being an EMT is no excuse to violate the law

148,

I don't wish to hijack this thread, so I'll close my comments with this statement...you are the type of reader who is exactly the reason why repeater input information is excluded in many of the topics on my sub-board. If a particular agency wished to have members of your home agency use their frequencies, they would have exchanged letters of authority granting access to each other's channels. I've prepared many of these letters myself; the process is very simple. Just because you happen to know an agency's frequencies and PL/DPLs does not mean you now have the authority to program a two-way radio with them and then begin keying up on their channels - even if it's just to kurchunk the machine to verify that the info was correct. I know the inputs; I've withheld most of them in an effort to prevent rouge radios (like yours) from being programmed to access specific repeaters without specific permission being granted in advance. Yes, a simplex frequency is a ground ball for someone with unauthorized intentions, but a line needs to be drawn somewhere between helping fellow scannists and preventing unauthorized use of frequencies.

I have never heard of such letter and as far as I know don't exist where I come from. 3/4 of your statement is false because:

1. You do not know me
2. Don't know what I do with the frequencies
3.You assume I key up the repeaters to verify, but in reality you have no idea.
4. You have no idea if what I do is authorized or not.

I think you are just bitter that I criticized you're web site, and this is the way you think you can get back at me. I really could care less. You are not a blip on my radar and i'm sure I am not on yours, except for the website criticism. Just because you withhold input frequencies does not make your website any better.

Thanks for not hijacking the thread. Anyone with a computer and basic website design skills can copy a website and call it their own. I am not one of these people. Maybe you should change the URL to www.eastcoastscanning-aka-radioreference.com
