Repeater Finder (RFinder) taps into The World Wide Repeater Directory, including IRLP and EchoLink information.
RFinder (Repeater Finder), the premier Ham Radio repeater locating tool for Amateur Radio operators, 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.
NOW RFinder Routing is integrated with RT Systems radio programmers! Your subscription bought here by installing this app gives you access in RT...just make sure RT is updated to the latest version by pressing Help-Update. Click File-External Data->RFinder Web Search and click Route! Easy as pie to program your radio now for a trip you are taking with just a few easy clicks...check out the tutorial video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaeRzcnNNdQ
NOW INCLUDES SOCIAL FUNCTIONS!!!! In the repeater detail screen, click the Check In button. All users will see that you are on that machine! This can be used to find your friends or a machine with a user on it. In the settings bundle app/RFinder you can turn on APRS posting. This posts your current position with the repeater you are checked into. You can also let your friends on Facebook® know what repeater you are on as well as your Twitter® followers, when checking in.
NOW INTEGRATED WITH THE EchoLink APP!!
From the repeater detail screen, any repeater that has an Echolink node attached just touch the number and if you have the EchoLink app installed it will launch to that node automatically for you.
Our repeater locator database is growing daily.
Access to the Directory is included for one year then it will be an annual subscription for $9.99, and your subscription works for all platforms.... Each purchase of a new platform advances your annual to a year from that new purchase date. Sub
If we do not have your repeaters listed...please do not refund or give us a bad rating...add repeaters at http://add.rfinder.net or request an add or update from the app.. Don't forget LAT/LON (in decimal), use periods as decimals, please.
The application accesses our Worldwide Repeater Directory and scanner directory for Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) but 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 and allowing distance calculation and mapping features to operate smoothly. 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 Amateur Radio repeaters from their countries we would love to incorporate that into our database.
I'm very impressed with this app. It gives me everything I was looking for in terms of a location based repeater directory and I'm sure there are other functions that I just haven't discovered yet! I have only had one question that I needed to ask about subscription renewal but Bob was very quick to answer that by email. I highly recommend this app all around.
App not up to date like desktop version
This app clearly has potential, but it doesn't have the repeater info that the desktop version has. There are two longstanding repeaters close to me that are not shown in the app, yet they are on the desktop version. Both repeaters are represented in the free RepeaterBook app. When I'm traveling I would like to be able to rely on accurate information on the go and not having to double check info on a desktop computer.
RF Finder
This was a great find! Very well laid out and has everything a ham radio enthusiast looks for in a great repeater reference guide. Worth every penny and has worldwide coverage!
I travel a lot and like the auto locate feature...very handy.
Better than ARRL directiry
Been using this app for over a year, find it a better reference than the ARRL repeater directory. The ability to access both from the iOS app and a desktop is a big plus, especially as one can export the data to your favourite programming software. Can't wait to see coverage maps in the iOS app
Great app and great suppprt too!
I can see why clubs are making this App their standard!
There was a problem with the renewal and Bob emailed me proactively to let me know and how the fix it so I didn't get stuck.
Thanks again for writing such dependable apps for the HAM community!
RFinder Web
Love the program. Have used it to program several radios using the RT System. I also have forgotten my passwords. I've contacted via email and phone. Bob has been much help in getting my access back. Thank You Bob/W2CYK for your help.

Rfinder is a great tool
Most useful and stable on iPad especially when traveling.
RFinder appréciation
RFinder est une application fort utile et bien conçue. Cependant, je constate que plusieurs mises à jour seraient nécessaires pour enlever des répétitrices qui n'existent plus, d'autres qui ont été déplacées... Dans l'ensemble, c'est une bonne application où il y aurait place à amélioration.
Question: m'est-il possible de corriger moi-même certaines irrégularités?
J'espère que les prochaines mises à jour permettront de hausser la cote de cette application.

Rfinder APP
Excellent product and customer and technical service.
Expensive for a non functional s/w
I bought this app with the intention of using it in another country. However all I seem to be getting at the moment is a major issue associated with a non functioning GPS. If you have GPS on your device and it is switched off, this app will keep attempting to access the device without even allowing registration. $9.99
for this useless package. I am very unhappy.
