If you find "wrong" information on it, submit the "correct" info for all to use.

I agree. From time to time I focus on the "rural areas" around me and try to dig out and ID what
is being used where. It gets tough sometimes with multiple counties or other agencies using the
same freq with different PL or DCS codes, but that is what makes it fun and awarding too.

What gets real interesting about the FCC data you may find is when you start monitoring the local
Government agencies and all of a sudden a familiar voice and radio or unit number from a Federal
agency you monitor is checking in with the locals. Really helps you get a better perspective on
how the different agencies work together.
