If you are using APRS over D-STAR, just query "repeaters" for a list of all
the local repeaters, not just the one favored by a particular APRS digi
owner.

What about having it user-configurable, with a max setting of 12 or 24
hours (and maybe a default of one). This way if one station is
abandoned for some kind of emergency work, they can put up a reply to
tell senders the call of the active station, but it'll time out a while
after anyone who knew the old station's call has learned of the new one.
Of course, tactical calls would alleviate that too I'm sure, but that's
a horse of a different colo(u)r.

Good question. If I were to make a menu item, I would make these options?
30m
1 hr
2 hrs
4 hrs
8 hrs
24 hrs
And anything above 2 hours generates a warning... "are you sure this QRM
has value?" and a paragraph about why Auto Reply messages are a dumb idea
in many instances...
Mayebe I'm dreaming of a perfect world, where everyone actually thinks
about the consequences of their settings... On a 1200 baud shared
channel... Sigh..

This behaviour is valid for UI-View as well: Auto Answer is cleared when
UI-View is closed.

That is true. Also (per the help) "If you send a message when auto-answer is
enabled, then it [auto-answer] is automatically disabled."

Same for Xastir on that last.

That'll work.
