[Elecraft] Slightly Off-Topic: Roving update of default repeater station

[Ray Cadmus]

It does exist for some systems.  There is a Repeater Book app  for 
Android - don't know about Apple stuff.  Anyway, it will do a blue-tooth 
setup for Yaesu radios (817, 857) via a blue-tooth adapter.

Check it out.

May not be what you are after but shows the possibilities.

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.
