RFinder allows you to find repeaters all over the world based on your current location or a specified location. It allows sorting by distance or by Trustee callsign as well as filtering by band and radius in miles or kilometers.
Repeater Finder (RFinder) taps into a worldwide repeater database, including IRLP and Echolink information. Our database is growing daily.

The application only stores information for repeaters within approximately 80 miles (125 km) from your location on your handheld at any one time, saving you room on your device. It uses geolocation either via cell tower triangulation, GPS or manual location entry (so you can look up the repeaters you will use on vacation or business trips, etc.).
If anyone has lists of repeaters from their countries we would love to incorporate that into our database. We already have:
US, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, England, Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands
Worldwide IRLP and Echolink nodes.
Planned Future Developments

| Once upon a time [1985], KA9Q gave away EPROMs with TCP/IP on them, to run on air instead of AX.25 for FREE... Now we have a repeater directory app that if you don't contribute data, you don't get a "refund" & a quarter is diverted to some "for the children" charade. Who says you can't make money on ham radio? | ||
