[chirp_users] Problem with Radioreference
When I do a Query Data Source I get frequencies from my zip code but they are all Public Service like police, fire, EMS, Schools, road departments etc.. While that's fine and dandy there is an amateur section at radioreference.com that I can import amateur frequencies using one of the Commander series softwares for Yaesu radios. Please check into this because radioreference should be exporting amateur frequencies along with public service or their should be a choice given in the query operation. Or if I'm missing something let me know what. This is one of the daily build, it's a week or so old but it works great with the Wouxun KGUV6D-Ham Only radio.

I think this feature of Chirp only requests conventional public service frequencies. It was written before RR added a separate section for amateur radio. Create a Feature request issue for this I'll look into how to request the amateur radio section when I have some free time.
For now there's always Repeater Book. That's the best database of amateur radio repeaters available for my area.

Ok feature request issue it shall be. I suppose I have to visit the site and put the request in the issues part.
