John I agree on that , and I remember month or so ago heard them say go to new radio and 217.8000 starts the control channel and 217.66 is site 6 and site 4 is 217.7200 and one TG I got was 6011 is Fredericksburg so far and as for the call signs for REC can’t find the new ones to support DMR but their old call signs are confusing
--------------
My experience updating my database for these past 35+ years is if the licensee physically is located in Virginia, all frequencies under that call sign will be inclusive and returned on a FCC General Menu Report query. The only exception I am aware of was in the 2000 time period when the STARS initial site installations began. It was then the STARS consultant, VITA, VSP, and GS et. al . all of them, failed to initally plan for the minimum number of STARS vhf frequencies required to support all STARS site's installations statewide. Phone calls/letters immediately were made to the FCC. The FCC quickly issued the initial 151-152 mhz. frequencies via a LETTER authorization to help alleviate the initial problem. Lack of sufficient vhf frequencies being available for installations plagued STARS installations for the next 6-7 years. Unless things have changed, these 151-152 mhz. frequencies will not return a frequenices search using a General Menu Reports query.
If the call sign for the licensee physically located out of the state of VA, but has a radio operation in VA, that information typically is found within the frequencies sub-link of the call sign.
So, regardless of whether in state or out of state, the actual call sign belonging to the licensee should be
returned on a valid query to the General Menu Reports. Usually a modification to the license will correct the error.
Regarding REC, in my opinion, something's not right somewhere. REC's license should have been available on the FCC General Menu Reports data base the day it started using the frequencies. Word of mouth frequencies passed to individuals to monitor after the fact is not way things are supposed to be documented especially of such a large operation.
