Pocket Repeaters
New version of Pocket Repeaters now available
on the download page!
My apologies to all those people who have
been waiting for the new version of Pocket Repeaters. In particular
for those who have been stuck with an old version that would
not update since the changes on the UK Repeaters website.
Due to some personal problems this year and also some illness,
I have not been able to dedicate the time to my extra curricular
projects that I would like. However, at last, I am proud to
announce the latest version of Pocket Repeaters to run on
Pocket PC devices.
Phase 1. Pocket Repeaters
Version 1.1 - Now Complete for Pocket PC!
A reworking of Pocket Repeaters using the Microsoft .NET Compact
Framework is now complete. I am also looking at making up
a version for Microsoft Windows based mobile telephones. Watch
this space for further news..
Phase 2. Pocket Repeaters
2
The new version of Pocket Repeaters is intended to listen
to any connected GPS device and show your nearest repeaters
bassed on your position. For those who do not have a GPS,
OS grid references can be entered instead.
I have also been asked if PR can provide information for repeaters
in other countries. I will be looking at this as a possibility.
To help keep up development of Pocket Repeaters and help offset
the costs, I am considering making a charge for Pocket Repeaters
in the near future. Please feel free to email me if you have
any comments on this, or of course an indication of the price
you would be willing to pay. I have a figure of £10
or £20 in mind. Most likely as an 'honesty' payment,
i.e. the software will not be limited but the user will have
it on the conscience that non payment may prevent any future
updates of the software.

Repeaters is free software designed for Pocket PC devices.
Using data direct from RMCWEB,
amateur radio enthusiasts can sort and retrieve information
about repeaters in the UK. For those with an available internet
connection, the application can connect to RMCWEB to retrieve
the latest data, keeping your database fully up to date.
The morse features of Pocket Repeaters has
been suspended as the author was not entirely happy that it
was reliable. Look out for this being resurrected in a later
version. After a kind donation of a GPS system, again from
Richard Pullen, I will soon start work on having the software
inform you of your nearest repeaters from your current GPS
position in Pocket Repeaters version 2 later this year.
