How is HearHam Live Repeater listing different?
Free to use and free to use in your application. (JSON API is available to download or use in your offline/online application!)
All repeaters have an approximate lat/lon location (so you can see the topography or check out where they are on the map!)

Export to CHIRP - While logged in, select Export for CHIRP to download your selected local repeaters and easily add to your radio if you use CHIRP to program it!
You may freely include your own custom repeaters list, for example, GMRS repeaters, on the desktop app!
Step by step instructions for Anytone, Yaesu, iCom, Baofeng, Kenwood, Retevis, Quansheng radios - log in to purchase a license key for RepeaterSTART premium. Only $2/month billed annually!
No single point of failure - There are a couple other well known repeater listings with repeater apps, and they are very good though they may list some nonexistent old repeaters. HearHam.live repeater listing can be used as a second resource, and the app can be used if your phone isn't working but your computer/Raspberry-Pi is up. It's about redundancy, just like no amateur radio fan can have just one radio :)
