<p>June 22nd 2020. <br>
I did test with Actual american zipcodes, and it works for me. Completely useless, but it works. (90210, and a reserve one that I took from the report number in case the actual county ID was used to label the pdr reports generated.) </p>
<p>And tested queries at radioreference. (And double checked a dozen countries while editing this) </p>
<p>The entirety of this problem is that radioreference allows searches by Zipcodes , County and a few other options Like Metropolitan areas etc. . <br>
The options change by country.<br><br>
Contrary to many databases they don’t seem to equate all the types of postal identifiers, so only real Zipcodes can be found by a zipcode search. <br>
(Note The . Radioreference Website does not allow searching by postal code in canada, so may not actually have the information.)</p>
<p>Chirp ONLY offers to search by Zipcode. </p>
<p>Adding a County search would fix Canada <br>
Adding a Region search would fix many countries, but not canada :) (This seems to be the default for the small countries with a single grouping) </p>
<p>So I’d suggest adding a pull down between Zipcode search, county, and Region. I think that would fix most countries. </p>
<p>P.s. I’m willing to do the entire research and check every listing To see if those 3 options would cover every countries. Might need a fourth, but I’d be surprised.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Tested the July 11th release.</p>
<p>No improvement. </p>
<p>Just keeping this active :)</p>

<ul></ul><p>Tested the july 22nd</p>
<p>Also, 4941 was a different (tho similar sounding issue) where a specific Zip code in Washington was buggy..</p>
<p>My issue is that there are no Zip Codes outside of the Us, and as long as Chirp will not provide a query by something other than a Zip Code, we can’t use it. <br>
(Well, not the local frequency imports)</p>

<p>Coming along. Probably a few days away from a pull request.</p>

<ul></ul><p>This is completed - for Canada!</p>
<p>The radio menu now has a submenu for RadioReference.com under which you can select Canada or USA. Inside the "Canada" option, you select Province and "county" (which is actually a mishmash of "Census geographic units" and Municipalities).</p>
<p>Currently excludes provincewide systems - but some ambitious human could probably take care of that.</p>
<p>I haven't pulled out a radio to test with, but import works well.</p>
<p>Enjoy! Pull request has been sent!</p>
