Getting a frequency database started
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2009 9:16 pm
Hi Folks.
One thing I've love here on the WARSUG forum is that we have a wealth of knowledge about the radio-using services out there and what's good to listen to and how (and why!). What I've found though while programming a new scanner for the first time is that we have some excellent frequency lists for some services but finding the frequencies for others takes a bit of digging.
So, I had an idea - A searchable frequency database for WARSUG.
I'm opening the idea up for discussion. Is it something we need? If yes, how might we go about doing it?
