New Annual Verification Process by RadioID.net

The ID numbers used for DMR and other amateur radio digital networks are a finite resource. Due to the growing popularity of these modes, along with some users requiring multiple IDs, certain regions are expected to face ID shortages in the near future.

To help ensure that available IDs are being used efficiently, the organisation in charge of maintaining the ID database will periodically verify that currently assigned IDs are still needed and that the information associated with them remains accurate.

Beginning 1st July 2026, RadioID.net will implement an annual verification process.
