Here's the official announcement; FWIW, I have the app on my iPhone, iPad, and as a bookmark in my browser(s), and it supports downloading the list to a number of different file formats, which makes it easy to upload into your favorite radio programming software (I'm using CHIRP). No financial interest, etc. But, it's a hell of a lot more useful than the bloatware from the League (that goes for a lot of things, come to think of it...), with the added feature that it uses (at least on the smartphone platform) the on-board GPS, so you can search a specific radius around your location, and find the nearest x repeaters that are listed in the directory. Again, no financial interest, etc. But, for 10 bucks sub a year...real-time searching, etc...worth more than the 30 you spend every year for the league directory... --- The Worldwide Repeater Directory now supports AllStar!!! + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greetings all Allstar node owners. Very exciting news. We will in very short order be listed in RFinder - The World Wide Repeater Directory. The folks at RFinder found a lot of inconsistencies in our data. In order to list our nodes accurately, please take a moment and update your info. They will be updating the node list once a week Mondays at 0100Z. Their apps will be enhanced in the coming weeks and months to include current node status! To update your info, please log into the Allstar Link Portal at https://allstarlink.org. In particular, please ensure that your nodes's callsign, frequency, tone, location, and particularly the LAT/LON information is accurate. If you have security concerns about giving exact LAT/LON location, just give a close Lat/Lon within a mile or two. For tone information, if you are using Digital Coded Squelch, please precede the number with a D, such as D023. The WWRD Supporting AllStar is just another step of making The World Wide Repeater Directory, it's third party applications such as RT Systems on Microsoft Windows, CHIRP and of course the RFinder family of programs on iPhone, Android and www Ham Radio's one-stop-shop for repeater data, no matter what the technology used for repeating radio signals.
