Hi,
In the absence of any existing solution I am interested in trying to put 
something together, possibly as a GitHub project?
Although a Wiki could be used, my focus is on a solution that is machine 
parsable, so any application could make use of it. I am not sure the best file 
format to use, but currently three come to mind:   - xml  - json  - csv
>From looking at some documents that list frequency allocations, I figure that 
>the files would be split into individual files, that cover the allocation by 
>ITU region, country and other group, with the footnotes being in files 
>separate to the allocation list, so that they could eventually be localised if 
>need be. Something like:
frequency-allocations/   itu_region1.txt   itu_region2.txt   eu.txt   uk.txt   
us.txtfootnotes/   ca.txt   us.txtrules/   us.txt    The fields I am thinking 
of are, at this point - frequency range - footnotes - rules - service type - 
service category - data format
This is a first stab, so any feedback would be useful. One thing that I seem to 
be struggling with is how best to specify information that would make it clear 
which data encoder/decoder to be using. For example, I can imagine an 
application detecting that you have selected a frequency range that corresponds 
to GPS and brings a view that shows the GPS data in a human readable form or 
that you are in a range that represents broadcasts TV and brings up a view that 
shows the broadcast data.
It may also be useful to have a list of channels, according to service type?
Please let me know what you think.
Andre

Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] Radio frequency range description list?




Hi,
Has anyone created a machine parsable file that lists radio frequencies and 
what is covered by that range?
At the simplest level I am thinking of something that would include country 
code, a frequency range and the identifier to what that range is, and possibly 
a string indicating typical data encoding. The idea being when using a UI, such 
as Gqrx you would be able to have a label identifying what sort of data you 
should be seeing and in other cases use this information for automatically 
loading the right configuration(s) for handling that frequency range.
