Definitely, paper repeaters are the biggest issue confronting this site. I agree with all who said there needs to be a user input for status (on or off air), as well as incorrect tones, coverage, etc. Just as an example, as far as I can tell, none of the repeaters listed for Sumter, SC are on the air. There is one listed for Andrews, SC the operator of which shows an expired license.
Sadly, as with too many ham repeaters, there are some owners who just did not have the extra 30 seconds it would have taken to encode a tone on the output of the repeater that requires one to key it up. Separate listings for tone status on the input and output would be especially helpful regarding these repeaters.
As there becomes an increasing number of repeaters with wide/narrow capability, there should be a wide or narrow notation for every repeater.
One last thing I may have overlooked, on the window that appears on the location/coverage map, what is "ORI"?
Thank you and 73!
