Notifications/alerts for database updates?

[KK4JW]

Is there an option to receive notifications when the database is updated? Like many others here, I have a ton of stuff programmed into my scanner, so keeping up with new frequency assignments, changes, etc is a little bit of a chore. Getting a notification that "X system/department/frequency has been updated" would be handy. Perhaps the feature already exists and I'm just missing it somehow.

If this is a feature of having a premium membership, that justifies the cost alone for me.

If you are a Premium subscriber, there is a MyRR page. You can tag Systems/Counties/Agencies and then they appear on a single page, where you can see at a glance if an agency was updated in the last 24 hours (green) or 7 days (yellow).

There is no email-based notification.

Here is a quick video on how to setup and use the MyRR feature.

Can I please suggest an email notifications/alert for when "watched" counties/systems/etc. are updated? Or even a RadioReference notification that can be set up to be emailed? I did subscribe to RR just for the ability to watch updates, so thank you for this feature.

We'll take it into consideration. We don't currently have that capability, and it would require quite a bit of back-end programming to make it happen, so please don't hold your breath.

Your consideration is very much appreciated. Thank you!

I’m having trouble setting up “agencies to watch” if I want to watch a fire department conventional radio channel. Can you advise

Agency in this case means one of the Entities listed on the state or county pages.

Ok, I thought I could choose conventional fire department or police department specifically from the agency list of fire, police, ems from conventional public safety.
