When I do a Search for Radio Data by Identified Frequency within a state
( ex. http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&action=isf&stcd=IL&freq=453.400 ),
I would like the resulting report table to show the PL/DCS tone associated with the frequencies found. This would make it easy to determine what cities I am hearing during skip/ducting occurrences.

An example of what I’m describing is this website:
http://landofzoz.com/freqs/freqsearch.php

When I search for a frequency, all the matching reported frequencies show up; sorted first by frequency, secondly by PL tone. The PL tone is the 'fingerprint' to identify what distant city I heard.

Radioreference.com is a great resource. Thanks for considering my feature request.

You could always ask someone in the state forum for the PL/DCS tones
as well. Sometimes published data is stale and it would be best to check
with those actively monitoring.
(My opinion, now back to my corner.)

How wierd, I was going to submit this as an suggested update to RR.com.

This would be very useful in my everyday functions as a user and admin of RR.com.

When reviewing a frequency for current use, I would see the CTCSS tones that already are in the database, rather than have to click on each county and then find the freq in that county/agency.

(Also, to be able to look at an adjacent state would be nice too) Especially where I am ------ so many freqs (ok all of them) are in use in St. Louis areas.

Search result in PL tones

I submitted this and it's already been made available to us.

We are having a few database issues though (not sure if it is caused by this or not)

Whenever I try to use the "Search All (state name) Identified Frequencies by frequency" feature I get "NOTE: This report is available only to Paid Contributors to the web site". This can't be true, is this just one of the errors?
