Description

UK Repeaters now comes as an iPad native application with stunning and easy to use navigation.

If you are familiar with the UK Repeaters iPhone app, then you are in for a treat as we have now included LIVE streams from some of the UK based repeaters.

UK Repeaters HD is an app that lists all UK Ham Radio repeaters throughout the United Kingdom (Including Northern Ireland), Jersey and Guernsey.

This is the ONLY native iPad app that details all of the UK's Ham Radio Repeaters.

Features:

* Easy to use user interface
* Search facility
* Repeater distance
* Live Streams from UK Based repeaters (Suggest your own)
* Full screen map
* Database using SQLite for superfast access and easy in-app updating.
* Report incorrect data or request new data within the app

- Interface

The first view allows you to view ALL repeaters at a glance, or using the filter tabs change the view by band.

A Search bar is available which allows you to search for specific frequencies, callsign, keeper or location!

Tapping on a repeater will take you to the Full information page for that repeater, also showing you your current distance from that repeater.

- Nearby

The nearby view will zoom down onto your current location showing you, at a glance, all the repeaters near you. You can also filter out the repeaters you do not want to show. I.E you can select 2M to only show the 2M repeaters on the map.

Imagine you are listening to a distant repeater on a specific frequency but didn't know it's tone. Well, you can enter the output frequency in the search bar and only those repeaters matching the text you entered in the search bar will be shown on the map.

You can also search by callsign, output, ctcss or keeper in the map view too.

If you zoom out too far and want to quickly go back to your location a handy Zoom button has been added that will automatically zoom and position the map back to your location.

Each pin has a callout feature that when tapped will show you some basic information for that repeater, but a new Info button has been added which will take to straight the repeaters FULL details PLUS your distance from the repeater.

- Database

The database format is using SQLite. This opens up the app in so many ways.

Currently there is no way to edit the data within the app but there are two options to get the data updated.

On the Info page you are now able to download the database from our server. If you use the inbuilt email client (Email Request) to give feedback about repeater data which is incorrect, or not even there, we will update the database on our server. You can then use the Update Database button within the app to download the changes.

The second option is for the more advanced users. I have enabled the document folder of the application to shared. Using iTunes you can extract the .sql file and edit using a sql database editor. I recommend the plugin on the Firefox browser for editing the database.

Thanks to everyone for their support and don't forget to keep sending me those feature requests.
