TRS listed on county homepages

[west-pac]

I've noticed this recently, and I'm not sure if the TRS that are in use are being removed from the county homepage, or if I've just looked at a bunch of county homepage that never had them listed, but I'm curious why they're not listed on the county homepage. When you go to a county homepage, such as this one:

Marion County, Florida (FL) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference for Marion County, Florida (FL)

www.radioreference.com

On the first channel listed, the description says something to the effect of: 'backup for the TRS', however, the TRS is not listed in the header of that section as being where you'll find the current radio traffic for that county or city. How are people supposed to know which TRS to listen to? You can click on the 'All Trunked Radio Systems' link for that county, but there may be 2, 3, or 4 dozen Trunked Radio Systems in that county. Is that county on their own TRS (the analog, or the P25 Phase II?), on the statewide TRS (the Edacs, or the P25 Phase I?), are they on the Duke P25 system,... maybe the CMEX DMR system???

My question: Why is the TRS that is in use, not listed in the header for individual cities and counties anymore?

Here is an example of what I'm used to seeing, and wondering why all of the county homepage are not setup like this. The first thing you see under each category is where you'll find the current radio traffic, then you see the analog and backup channels.

(EDIT: My question is not about this specific county. My question is Database-wide, why are they not listed on each header?)

It's probably the p25, the one named after the county.

Maybe, maybe not. 🤷‍♂️ Wouldn't it be 100x easier to figure out if it was just listed under the header for that county?

 

[u2brent]

Sure, it would be.

It has been my experience that when a new system is submitted to the RRDB, the admins typically will not add a link on the various pages (I.E. in a sub-section on the County or a separate services page). I tend to include that information (and the appropriate links to the appropriate sub-section as part of the submission and rarely have an issue getting them added.

I suspect that your examples are exactly that the admin was not provided the sub-category and thus didn't get updated.

Of course, one of the great RRDB database admins can likely chime in with more detail.

There are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of conventional subcategories within each state, and the process of linking related trunked systems is not automatic, it has to be done manually on a per-subcategory basis.

If a trunked system needs to be linked within a particular subcategory, then make a submission (to the county/agency page, not to the trunked system page) and an admin will get to it as time permits.

In my experience, Florida is one of the worst when it comes to what the OP is describing above. There are no links to various Trunked Systems on County Pages. I often take 20 minutes or more to determine what agency is on what system, as I travel a lot and would like to know.

But then again, as GTR said above, the process is not automatic. So it's just a matter of people sumbmitting the info to the DB to get it in the right place.
