Yes, it would be great if more repeaters were represented by APRS-IS
objects so they're visible on various web sites. Repeater owners
don't seem very interested in advertising their repeaters this way
unfortunately. Naturally it would be great if repeater objects were
put on RF with coverage comparable to the repeater they describe.<br>
<br>
I suppose a smart repeater could periodically switch to the APRS
frequency and transmit the object if the repeater when not in use,
assuming it's a 2m repeater, of course. I doubt most repeaters have
this capability but it would be a way to avoid having to install
another radio and antenna at the repeater site.<br>

That sounds more promising, but if you're putting them on RF for
travelers, then I wish you'd consider putting them on APRS for all
travelers. There's more APRS users than just APRS RF radio
owners, and I'm sure some of us would appreciate seeing them
beacon on our mobile APRS-IS clients as well.<br>
