HAMfinder

HAMfinder is a Ruby gem built to make developing Ruby on Rails-based amateur radio programs easier to develop.

Querying Repeaterbook.com's data using application-defined criteria, this gem returns a collection of repeaters matching the criteria as JSON objects - conveniently named by their callsigns! For example, here is a record for a 2 meter band repeater near me in Washington, DC:

{:K4DCA=>
  {:frequency=>"145.1100",
   :offset=>"-0.6MHz",
   :tone=>"CC1",
   :call=>"K4DCA",
   :location=>"Washington",
   :state=>"DC",
   :usage=>"OPEN",
   :voip=>"",
   :distance=>"0.8",
   :direction=>"S"}}

Installation
