RRDB v2.0 Q&A and Feedback Discussion

[Outerdog]

The behavior of Search Database link is irregular compared to the rest of the nav menu. Trying to open that link in a new window results in a 404. I get why. But it's a UX issue that should be worked out.



On that same subject... Where should I go to search? The Search Database link? The Query links? The Browse links? The Database Home page? Any? All? The concept of search seems convoluted as a whole. Do all these different searches do different things? Should there be a unified search page? Should that search pop up thing be moved up to the top nav bar (near messages and login/out)?

Nevermind, I see the problem here. All good now.

I am afraid this was drowned by all the other messages, so I am re-posting, just in case:
How can I view the "Latest Updates" tab and info?
In the old version it was on the top tabs.
In the new version I cannot find it at all.
I am talking about a country like Israel.
Thank you in advance.

@noamlivne this has been updated and fixed.

Thank you very much!
I go to the left menu and select "Update Reports", and then select my country.
Great!
I guess this cannot be reached from the Country view itself? Not a biggie.

I am seeing that under the old format with the last Quick Links FCC Grants the Last 200 for Erie County New York worked ok. Under the new Database layout it doesn't work. How do I use this in the new database?

I did not recognize this listing Harrison County, West Virginia (WV) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

Is there an automated way to see recent FCC licenses per county(maybe once a week, or preferably a period of my choice ), without having to navigate to each of the counties I'm interested in, and then the FCC tab, and then sort by granted(twice), and then visually looking to see if there's anything new? In my case, I'm doing this for 8 counties, so there's a ton of repetition, and repetition is something that computers and software should be doing.

RRDB 2.0 broke the links I had saved in my calendar, that I would click on for each county, and added the steps of having to click "granted" twice.

I used to receive a weekly email (not from RR) that was very helpful and made it easy to find new frequencies to be paying attention to.

I and my arthritic hands would greatly appreciate the automation, please, and thank you.

Happy Scanning,
Ben

FCC Updates - Your On-Line Database for Weekly FCC Updates!

 

[blantonl]

Lots of bug fixes and updates released this morning

1) CSV FCC database downloads for counties released
2) Tightened up and fixed a bunch of bugs related to all CSV downloads
3) Metro Area Menus not displaying
4) Bunch of bug fixes related to submitting data

Lots of other stuff. The CSV FCC downloads is a nice addition and should allow some of you advanced users to download a complete up to date list of all FCC callsigns in a county for your own slicing and dicing of the data.

Sort by Grant Date. Easy Peasy

Note that for the time being, we're making all RadioReference database features available to everyone free of charge while we're testing.

We'll soon transition the following components to Premium Subscribers only:

1) Frequency Data Queries
2) Trunked System Queries
3) FCC Data Queries
4) Frequency and Update Reports
5) CSV Downloads

You'll always be able to view almost all the data in the database, including FCC callsigns and FCC County listings, free of charge, but advanced features listed above will only be available to premium subscribers (and Broadcastify Feed Providers)

Also, for those that absolutely must have a one click FCC latest grants report, you can add “?s=grants” at the end of a county fcc license list report link which will set that sort order automatically for you.

I also updated the MyRR links with that as well for premium subscribers’ fcc grants links on their favorite counties

Love the redesign! It's much easier to use on mobile.

One suggestion since the FCC data seems to be an area of focus -- when running a FCC license report (for a particular county, doing a state/freq lookup, or a proximity search), it'd be great if there was an option to include the emissions designators and licensed output power was shown in the report. This would make it easier to identify an unknown user when reviewing a broad set of data where currently, you'd need to drill down to the individual license to get that level of detail.
