Ham Dashboard

 

Ham Dashboard is designed to be useful to Radio Amateurs whilst on the move or away from home. This initial release shows a searchable list of nearby repeaters in these countries and regions, along with details of input and output frequencies, a map, and a handy bearing arrow for each repeater.


Ham Dashboard also includes basic a basic APRS-IS tracker, which can send position reports whenever the application is running in the foreground. For more details take a look at Ham Tracker, which can run in the background too!
