There are a currently only a few apps on the Android platform specifically for amateur radio, so I thought I’d add my 2p worth.
I’ve recently written a simple free application for the android platform to help locate, and find useful information about the UK’s Amateur Radio Repeaters whilst out ant about. The idea is that instead having to use the internet to lookup the appropriate CTCSS frequency, Tx/Rx frequency etc… for a particular repeater, you can see what settings you need to use on your radio by just running the app. - dont forget to switch your GPS on!
The main screen on Repeater Range shows a list that updates every 30 seconds with the distance and bearing of all the repeaters (nearest first) then if you select a particular repeater from the list you can see/update more detailed information. If you’ve got an android phone - give it a try and let us know what you think.

very good app well pleased why not have paypal donation button on your website, then probably remove the adverts.
i would definately donated a fiver through paypal for your time. Would there be any chance of dstar repeaters in coming future.
thank you very much

Hi Neil,
Many thanks for the comments, Interesting idea regarding the donation, I’d not thought of that. As for the D-Star repeaters, its on my list of things to do. I’m trying to figure out a good way of getting accurate repeater information - and possibly some kind of online refresh of the repeater info. One idea I’ve had is to have a page on my site where it’s possible to add new repeaters to the list - and of course one on the app to so it’s possible to share updates
