Yes, that is definitely where we are going with this concept. If we can
just get these objects on the air, and everyone doing it in a consistent
manner, then it is trivial for people to write little pic-processors (or
kenwood)to tune the mobile rig automatically to that recommended frequency
at the push of a button.
But we must get these objects on the air in a consistent format.
See:
http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/localinfo.html
Hence, my initiative to get every local area with a KPC-3+ type of
DIGIPEATER to include this local travelers repeater frequency in the
digipeater's Btext. Our's is on the air now as 147.105+D where I chose "D"
for the location (Davidsonville). You can get a list of any other such
objects from FINDU with the http://map.findu.com/147.105* request (of
course there are no others yet).
The reason I say KPC3+ digipeaters, is because it is trivial to implement
with them. It is a little more problematic to put it in other digipeaters
due to the difficutly of making the packet DIRECT only and on its own 10
minute schedule. Thought it can be done. (See the above web page)...

I don't see why this can't be done relatively quick. APRS Depot already
has a automated response system that handles IRLP information (
http://www.aprsdepot.com/forum/index.php?board=29.0 ). Since the response
is consistent, having a radio read in the response to automatically program
would be a fairly trivial process.
For example:
Right now if I want to know the nearest IRLP node, while mobile on my
D700, I send a message to:
APRSDEPOT
With the text:
IRLP
It automatically determines my nearest location and responds with something
like:
Node 3180, 12.1 Miles, 145.480 - pl 107.2, AK6E
Obviously the fields are:
Node Number, Distance, Freq - PL, Contact Callsign.
Now, if we were to setup a similar database (APRS Depot can parse from the
IS stream) for voice repeaters, then automating some of these processes
would be a snap.
We could even go to the extent that if they want a text response to send to
APRSDEPOT, and a response that would auto tune to send to APRSAUTO (for
example).
Interesting stuff here!

Yes, also already today sending a APRS message to WLNK-1 with the text:
T
returns information about closest active Telpac gateway
M
returns information about closest active PMBO/RMS

Is there a consolidated place where these services are listed? It's hard to
remember them all.

As I find them, I'm trying to put them all into APRSDepot... If anyone
else knows of any please feel free to post them.
