What Joel is saying it you CAN NOT SIMPLY see all the frequencies,
shifts, etc. that was available until the recent change. 

Sorting the list by state still requires you to click on each
individual D-STAR repeater listed to see the frequencies. Second time
this week the same answer has been given which does not provide any
more information just a different view. Again not helpful since I only
see a repeater call sign without frequencies.  

Several people here have also commented about how difficult the "new
format" is compared to the old list. I agree. 

Pointing users to other sites that require them to enter additional
information to retrieve a temple is also not helpful. 

I understand the amount of time required to maintain a web page.  I do
8 different groups without any program.  

Last weekend another group I belong to installed 3 D-STAR radios that
will be used in this state and bordering states. This week I spent 4
hours compiling a list of D-STAR repeaters in this state and several
others states. It required a lot of clicking, copying, pasting and
sorted for an end product.  Previously Click, copy and paste and
minutes later my work would have been done.

I also would like to see the previous format. Do I  think it will
happen? No.

 In order to know the frequecies of all the California repeaters one
has to open up and either print or copy down all the repeater
frequencies for 28 different repeaters.  The old way we could list the
repeaters by state and print a section of the listing, and have all
the repeater frequecies and locations on ONE OR TWO sheets of paper. 
I would like to see the old format back so it is much easier to
program our radios.
