P25 users should be using their DMR ID, Fusion should be using Legal callsigns, its possible that you could see a request to RadioID where there really is NO ID to resolve, and I expect RadioID will then look that up against QRZ in the same way that they use QRZ to back-fill any missing meta data.

You may all be aware by now that the RadioID database is/was corrupt.

Referencing UK call signs the address line adds the word 'Badakhsha' . Badakhsha is a district in Afghanistan with no relevance to any UK sub division.

I am concerned because stations using my dash board may find this to be racial offensively. This was particularly so because the RadioID database is at least 18 months out of date and it referenced our old address in Oldham, Badakhsha.

I have contacted the author of the database and he confirms that it is corrupted. He also advises that steps are being taken to correct the corruption.

With regard to the dated address's I was able to update their database. I am anxious to revert back to QRZ to avert any potential offence being caused. However, I cannot find a method whereby I can effect a change.

18:04hrs Wednesday and I see that this word has now been removed from the UK address's. At least that problem appears to be resolved.

I did update to 20210127 and rebooted, but I am not getting the Lookup tab. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

It's the easiest thing to drag the new window onto the tab bar of another browser instance.
