iPhone Ham Radio Repeater Lookups

[robertecline]

Does anyone know of an app or a website to lookup ham radio repeaters geared towards the iphone? Something like RR's version they have for commerical radio?

Thanks!

Try the Callbook app.

Thanks for the reply, but I am looking for something for repeater frequencies not call signs.

I did not find an I-Phone app - but I bought this ARRL Travel Plus For Repeater 2009-2010 and imported the data into my smart phone. Not sure if you can do the same on the I-Phone though.

Oh. Duh. Sorry, I should have caught that. It's still a pretty cool app. Good luck.

This isn't a iPhone app but it is a good site:

Did you try the ARRL web site?

The official home page of the NFCC, Inc - COORDINATORS

EDIT: Note that some states have more than one coordinating orgs

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I have the ARRL cd data and that is what I am doing now. It works OK, but it misses the mark on what could be.

I wish we had something like the app for the iPhone called "Emergency Radio" Based on your location it shows you the available scanner feeds.

How cool would it be to fire up an app, have it figure out where I am at and show me repeaters in my area.

I will just have to wait...

Thanks again.

I am going to ask a friend of mine, he wrote 2 ham radio apps, that are available in the store already. Has I mentioned above, the software I bought will do that, when uploaded to a GPS it will show the repeaters in the area. Since the I-Phone has GPS built in, I would think that it would be possible.

After this post I decided if I wanted it I needed to do it myself. I have written two applications, Freq Finder and Local Freq. Both are awaiting Apple approval but you can check out the information at coolhamstuff.com

Freq Finder is a location based repeater directory that will show a list of repeaters based on the user's location. In addition it will allow them to send in update information to keep our list accurate. freqfinder.com

Local Freq is a front end application for the mobile Radio Reference scanner directory. It is a simple app that will determine your location and then open the Radio Reference web site to the correct county.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
