This question has nothing to do with Elecraft rigs (well, possibly remotely if I assume a KX3 as mobile with the future to be provided 2-meter option).
Yesterday I drove to Portland from my QTH of Kirkland near Seattle. This is a 3 1/2 hour trip down I-5 (and, the return). In the Seattle area, I had my 2-meter mobile rig in my truck sitting on a repeater frequency but it was not too long before I was out of range of that repeater. I wondered briefly about changing to some nearby closer repeater but it was not that important to me but I started thinking about an automated way to do this. I have GPS in various guises with my Truck (iPhone, iPad, and my little Garmin GPS at times), so what if I had a way of extracting location, looking up location of nearest repeater in my database (if I had one), and then having a interface to my rig to update the repeater frequency, split offset, tone, etc. All very possible. So, my question: Does such a thing now exist? I don't pay enough attention to repeater-life to know what other hams may have already created? 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
