PerCon WTF?
I subscribed to Spectrum online last Tues and have not received an ID or
password yet. I've sent them a couple of emails, no reply so far and I even called their support number, all I get is voice mail. At least they haven't charged my credit card yet. Does anyone know what the deal is? I've always heard good things about them, I'm not too impressed thus far. |

They went down hill after they got their government contract to supply various databases to various agencies. Right after they got that the Spectrum CD was killed and only the Pro DB remained. Thank fully others have stepped in to supply a similar product at the same price point for those not needing the Pro DB. Who else offers a freq database? I already have police call IMO, other than public safety there's not much else on the CD or in the book that is very interesting. |

For a spectrum like product I suggest you look at: http://www.fccdata.com This CD is all license data EXCEPT nexhell, which you don't need any way, BUT it does require a little effort to use on the end users part. Either a version of Dbase or follow the on CD instructions to create a Percon Spectrum compatible version or mslop access file. Some times this shows up on EBay as well and you can get it at quite a savings. Hey thanks, I finally received an email from PerCon this last Monday (guess they where on vacation) with User ID and Password. I wouldn't have made a fuss about it if the printed receipt didn't say "Your User ID and Password will be e-mailed to you within one business day." That Thurs I sent out an e-mail to them and didn't hear back so I was wondering if they'd gone out of business. I was all geeked up to spend the weekend putting it all together and programming my scanner too. Anyhow, I will definitely check out the FCC Data CD. I'm really seeing what I've been missing with the amount of info I'm getting from PerCon. And $19-$30 is definitely within my budget. I know I could've found much of this on the FCC site, but getting it into a comprehensive format would've been a real chore. One question about the FCC CD, I never had the PerCon CD to install, so is it possible to create the mslop access file without ever having a owned a PerCon product? Thank you for your suggestions. |

You can get the complete FCC Licensing Division Master Database from the folks at http://mysite.verizon.net/moment_1/s...ng/contact.htm it is a frequency database covering ALL 50 US states plus all US territories, so everything that has an FCC license is on it.

I've pulled daily FCC license transactions for years and manually go through them as I simply don't have the time to write something that would automate this process other than its daily down load. I can search thru the file pretty quick for the areas of interest and move on. Theres tons of other data on there if it were my full time job to be able to deal with I could do some things with. Others have done some great work with scripts or programs like the Grants groups on Yahoo and the freqofnature site http://66.116.100.15/grants/ Yup tons of info on that page!! 1 out of date frequ and it would not give me anything in my county, yup tons of stuff.

"NOT" If you weren't half stupid, you'd grasp the concept that the site is for searching for RECENT CHANGES ONLY. It's not a complete database... Considering the data in the search is all NEW data that was published on the FCC site between 8/9/05 and 8/14/05, I'd guess that it's FAR from being "out of date," as you claim. I'd actually have to say that it's probably MORE IN-DATE than your 6 month old Database CD you trying to sell illegal copies of... |

You would know that I was pointing him to the guys at Scannertesting.com for his answer.. And yes you still look stupid with your dumb ass spam answers. And yes they still sell the FCC database for $15.00 :-) That Other Guy |
