Tags are put in place in the RadioReference database to tag all frequencies and talkgroups to a defined set of categories (or services).
Some examples of how this data will be used in the future include:
- Queries of individual service uses within a specific area (i.e. display to me all fire dispatch frequencies and talkgroups in Dallas County)
- Program a scanner with all police dispatch channels in Southern California
