Searching for a specific frequency in the forums

[BetaCygni]

Hi all,

If my scanning / logging setup (Airspy R2 + SDR# + Freq Scanner plugin) records a hit which I don't recognise, 262.500 as an example, I want to be able to search for that frequency in the forums to see what it might have been.
If I put 262.500 in the search box (with the "Search for all terms or use query as entered" option) I get matches for 262 and 500, the page returns
Search found 63 matches: 262.500
Searched query: 262 500
If I put 262.500 in double quotes, that is "262.500":
Search found 63 matches: "262.500"
Searched query: 262 500
Single quotes does the same. If I try and escape the . as if it was a regular expression (regex) match any character with a backslash, i.e. 262\.500 I also get
Search found 63 matches: 262\.500
Searched query: 262 500
None of this is what I want. I only want matches in this case for 262.500. None of the search options appear to allow me to refine the search behaviour to do this.
If I search for regex or regular expression I don't get any useful information as to how to do this.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to achieve this I'd be most grateful.

Many thanks
Beta Cygni

Get yourself signed up for milscanners groups io. If you PM me I will send you a link. You need to actively contribute with freqs to the group but it allows access to a big daily updated database in which you can search.
