FEATURE REQUEST: Search for (custom search) database compare

[mrscanner2008]

Is it possible to add a comparison to the existing database in the scanner's search function (custom search)?

For example, in the custom search for 410-420 MHz, the scanner stops at the frequency 411.2125, and in the database, this frequency belongs to the fire department, so it displays the name in the custom search.

thanks

Where should this information be displayed? If we take the 436 scanner, there is absolutely no space on the screen to display additional information.

maybe alternating between color code and name?

The full database consists of 1/2 million lines. One frequency will be found at several locations in the country and could even be within the same state. Probably better to compare to what you have currently in scan, favorite lists and part of the DB if doing location scanning. But there's still a risk of the first hit not being the one you wanted to see.

It could copy the name tag for the frequency from the first hit to be copied to the display and continue to search for the same frequency but then also check CTCSS/DCS/NAC and if a match are found then copy that text over the one already in the display mirror memory. It will only work for conventional frequencies as trunked ones will have a blank name in DB and FL.

For the 436/536 the <F+SYS to SCAN> are probably what can be replaced by a name and for SDS the field Unit ID Name 4 as I don't believe anyone to use more than 46 characters for a unit ID name.
