The Vacancy Search is designed to assist users in identifying potential open repeater pairs in the United States and Canada. This tool utilizes the current known repeaters and the area's band plan to provide a starting point for research.

Vacancy Search Tool

The Vacancy Search currently supports the following states and provinces:

• Alberta
• Georgia
• Illinois
• Indiana
• Kentucky
• Louisiana
• Mississippi
• Missouri
• North Carolina
• Oregon
• South Carolina
• Tennessee
• Texas
• Utah
• Virginia
• West Virginia

To perform a Vacancy Search, follow these steps:

1. Enter Location:

1. Provide the nearest city and state/province for the proposed repeater location.
2. Alternatively, use GPS coordinates in decimal format.

2. Select State/Province:

1. Choose the state or province where the repeater will be located. This selection will apply the appropriate band plan and repeater list for the area.

3. Choose Band:

1. Specify the band on which the repeater will operate.

The search will return all repeaters assigned to allocated channels within the entire state or province. Here’s how to interpret the results:

1. No Assignments Found:

If no repeater is found on a particular channel, the channel will be marked as “No Assignments Found.”

1. Expand Results:

Click the “Expand” link to search for repeaters:

1. Within 200 km of the proposed location (crossing state/provincial boundaries if necessary).
2. On channels within 20 MHz of the band plan (non-standard channels).

1. Active Repeaters on Non-Standard Channels:

Some active repeaters may not follow the standard band plan channel assignments. The expanded results will include these repeaters.

1. No Warranty:

Results are provided without warranty, and users should perform their own due diligence.
