<font size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>It's been a busy year for
Team RFinder...partnering with radio societies worldwide in
the countries of Italy, Mexico, Spain, France, Germany and
now the ARRL in the United States...</b></font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>We have worked hard for you
to improve data...and it will get even better in the near
future with more detail on the new digital modes that have
cropped up in the past couple years. Those of you that use
RFinder know that we constantly updgrade the software to
have cutting edge technologies, integrate data feeds from
great data sources, and adding new languages...</b></font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>Thanks to a new strategic
alliance with CloudRF.com we will now have coverage maps for
all repeaters on earth. Our systems are busy rendering and
indexing coverage maps based on ground path loss using the
Longley-Rice irregular terrain model. We have worked with
Alex M6ZUJ at CloudRF.com to render coverage maps for nearly
the entire collection of machines in RFinder's database. </b></font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>"</b></font><font size="4"
face="sans-serif"><b><i>CloudRF is honoured to have been
chosen to support the world's premier repeater database
with coverage maps. We look forward to working with
RFinder to improve RF coverage maps for the world. RFinder
is by far the largest collection of transmitters we have
seen and we are excited to be part of this ground breaking
project.</i></b></font><font size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>"
says Alex Farrant, M6ZUJ, creator of CloudRF. </b></font><font
size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>"</b></font><font size="4"
face="sans-serif"><b><i>Bob contacted me in late February
about our API. Several days later he had his own client
script and had rendered most of his substantial database
of repeaters at 100 mile radius each using CloudRF's
powerful servers. Bob was able to efficiently out source
the substantial horse power and reference data required
for this mammoth task and download each site afterwards as
a KMZ overlay for Google earth and host them himself. Best
of all, most of the hard work was done whilst we were
sleeping!"</i></b></font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>The resulting KMZ files are
viewable in Google Earth on Windows and Mac (through
web.rfinder.net and routes.rfinder.net), on Android and iOS
versions of RFinder. The Windows and Mac versions allow
multiple coverage maps viewable simultaneously, a great aid
to Repeater Coordinators worldwide! </b></font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>As part of this project,
RFinder will be providing complimentary access to repeater
coordinators worldwide. As RC's update repeaters with HAAT,
Power and Gain and updated Lat/Lon, maps will be
automatically re-rendered within a few minutes and made
available to all subscribed users. </b></font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>The procedure to sign up for
the Repeater Coordinator program will be annouced mid-March
of 2016. This new capability will make Repeater Coordinators
more efficient, as they will easily be able to see repeater
coverage maps side by side for both coordinated and
uncoordinated machines. This information is critical as
simplex nodes for internet linking, crossband repeaters and
homebrew repeaters crop up worldwide using various new out
of the box and homebrew technologies.</b></font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="sans-serif"><b>For a limited time, users of
the trial version of RFinder on Android will have access to
coverage maps...After that only subscribers will have
access. RFinder is a subscription service for ~$9.99US and
a single subscription provides access through
web.rfinder.net, routes.rfinder.net, Android, iOS, RT
Systems and CHIRP, as well as POI files for popular GPS
systems.<br>
