[chirp_users] Repeater listings
Greetings all,
I am glad for all the work you do for an open-source radio app! I maintain the repeater database at hearham.live and wonder what the process is to list a repeater source in Chirp? Unlike other repeater books, the full database is accessible in a readily readable format. Even the app is open source. https://hearham.com/repeaters
Additionally I hope for this repeater listing to be unlike other repeater books in that it is newer, does not have old old repeaters that were there once years ago, after all the time you take to plug them in... they are not actually there :( Hope you find it useful!
Have a great week Luke

But most of the repeaters are missing.

Yep. It's useless for my area too but that could change so I added it to the list of online repeater directories at: https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Amateur_Radio#Repeater_Databases

I am in Broken Arrow OK right now, just tried it in this area, came up totally blank.

I also just looked at the OKC metro area, it only shows 1 repeater for the whole area, we have 7 DMR repeaters in the area alone, then there are a boat load of analog repeaters in the OKC metro, Only see W5DEL for OKC... Wee bit thin.

Thanks for sharing this project. A couple questions:
1. I poked around your web site but couldn't find a published open data license for the database. Can you point us to one? 2. Is the data available in any other formats other than the JSON feed? 3. Are there any plans to document the API endpoints and methods so people will know how to work with the data? (Or if already done, where can it be found?) 4. I also looked for the source code and associated open source license for the webapp but couldn't find it; only found a link to a different desktop-based application. Can you point us to the site's source code?
Very excited to watch the platform develop!
Additionally I hope for this repeater listing to be unlike other repeater books in that it is newer, does not have old old repeaters that were there once years ago, after all the time you take to plug them in... they are not actually there :(
I note that your JSON feed of repeaters listed at the link above currently contains 2,383 entries. Apparently (taking their word for it) repeaterbook.com has around 40,000 repeaters and processes 18,000 records each year. Do you have a plan yet on getting data into the system?

Don't complain about JSON. It's miles better than XML. In addition, Python has libraries that can read in that JSON file and convert it to Python data structures with ease. Since CHIRP is written in Python, JSON is a good fit.

I made no complaints about JSON and am well familiar with it; not sure to what you're referring. Perhaps my question about what additional formats the data will be made available was confusing? The author stated that both the data and application are Open Source, so it would be useful to know (a) the license chosen for use of the data, and (b) the various ways in which it can be accessed.
