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.
Beginning July 1, 2026, RadioID.net will implement an annual verification process. On the anniversary of each account's creation, RadioID.net will send an email to the account holder requesting confirmation that the assigned ID(s) are still needed and that the account information remains accurate and up to date.
If no confirmation is received, the associated ID(s) will be temporarily deactivated. If RadioID.net is unable to obtain a response after a reasonable period, the ID(s) will be removed from the database and made available for reassignment. This process is intended to preserve the long-term availability of ID numbers and maintain an accurate database for the amateur radio community.
- Year 1: If unable to contact you, we mark your account as unvalidated, IDs still work.
- Year 2: If still unable, we mark your account/IDs as Deleted, IDs no longer work.
- Year 3: If still unable to contact you for validation, Accounts and IDs are deleted.
** We are also using LastHeard data to help trim this list down.
