surcomtech Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 New to the website. It’s a wonderful tool and super easy to use. I am loving the app and thanks for allowing us to try beta. Out of all the FCC and Ham radio websites you have created the cleanest and easiest to navigate site. Excellent work!! Enough typing…time to get one the air!!

WRHS218 Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Is there a way to show "my location" on the map using a phone's location. That would be handy when travelling in an unfamiliar area on back roads. I know nothing about apps or how to make them. So far the Beta is very fast and easy to use. Thank you for all of your work.

WRTM494 Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) On first glance it looks good but I did notice if you try and change your profile there is a lot of wasted space between the keyboard and save button and very little room to actually see what you are typing, this is especially an issue when typing in the “about me” section. (iPhone 13 Pro with Display Zoom set to larger text, i will test again without this setting and let you know if it makes a difference) Definitely not the only app with this issue but any extra space you can squeak out would help. ok after a reboot it looks better but still lots of wasted space below the save button. Edited July 19, 2023 by WRTM494 Added info after changing to standard zoom setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To anyone who might be wondering you can go to your present location, sort of, from using the "Browse Repeaters" button. You can set your distance to search in the settings within the "Browse Repeater" area. That didn't seem to be available using the "Map" button until I logged out and then back in. It now shows my location on the big map. I'm sure it was my mistake. The app is great and much smarter then I am. WRUU653 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtevmckay Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 No support for the app on Chromebook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drk1970nj Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 All great on the app but one thing don’t see where you get requests or able to approve someone to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmith Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 After selecting a repeater from “Browse Repeaters” and selecting “view on map” on the next screen, selecting any icon will display its info, but if you select “view details” (on any repeater) it gives you the information for the original repeater selected in “Browse Repeaters”. 13 ProMax, 16.5.1 (c) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtevmckay Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Will the Shop be added, or a direct link to the shop? I would prefer direct integration with the app. I am on both IOS and Android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WQTK732 Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 You need to fix the app so you can go ahead and let you guys know if there’s an issue or if we can go ahead and reply and ask permission to use a repeater when needed to.

WRTX998 Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 I have been using the app for a couple updates now and find it very useful, just general day to day usage ie; callsign lookup, check for repeaters near my location ( I travel ). Two things I've found on the iOS version so far that I feel would be beneficial are; 1. Being able to request permission for a repeater. 2. Access to the node map with the ability to live listen when I'm in between repeaters while working. Also having the coverage area map in the repeater details would be nice. I do enjoy having using the app and have not had any issues in my usage so far, no known bugs or crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRUF242 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Was a tester there for a minute, but I think the beta was pulled down and then brought back up again. Here’s a map issue, I’ve been traveling around the western side of the US and have been experiencing issues with selecting other sites on map. When searching for repeaters it will only show me one (the same) repeater when selecting another. Guess to be clearer; I see one repeater, select to see info, see info, (to be dramatic for example) select a different repeater from hundred miles away to see info and only shows me the first selected repeater and only that repeaters info for every site in the US I try to select.

I posted this back in July with pictures …about 6 posts back. Hopefully they get if figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
