235 - Radio Reference Database 2.0

Scanner School - Everything you wanted to know about the Scanner Radio Hobby

Radio Reference released version 2.0 of their Database. This is the first complete overhaul and rewrite of the database in about 10 years.

There are many changes when it comes to navigating the new database and once you learn where things are, the new database is much quicker and easier to navigate.

What You Need To Know

• When we open the database for the first time, we will see a quick guide that will walk us through everything that we need to adjust to with the new database.
• If you need a refresher on where to find things, you can always put your website browser into Incognito mode, which will reestablish a brand-new connection between you and the radio reference.
• The main page of the new database has shortcuts to browse, search, and submit data.
• Many of us will press the browse button, and this takes us to the country page.
• Country, State, and County Pages now have “Hamburger Menus” that have additional links.
• On the left side of each database page, we have shortcuts to popular links and reports.
• RRDB 2.0 took what the RRDB was and made it better!
