This is just so I can get a feel for how people are programming their scanner(s). It's for an upcoming wiki change.

both databases to research more distant systems or if out somewhere with a new system. I tend to hear about changes in the forums and confirm by monitoring prior to loading.

This needs to have the ability to choose more than one. I use a combination of the top two, and tend to do a lot of renaming to suit what I'm looking at on the screen.

DO OVER!! I reset the poll to add multiple choices!
I use both the wiki here and the RRdb and then program using software. I dont like bulk downloads since I heavily customize my programming and naming, and find it easier to go line by line, rather than scanning a bulk download. As mentioned by CG, i tend to read the forums on both sites for local news.
I do a lot of this as well. I'll download the data into Pro Comm using the RRDB import function. Then, I'll reorganize how TGs or frequencies are set up and often change the Alpha Tags.
