A notice to users of the ARRL Repeater Directory and the “RF Finder” app
— an update
ARRL is no longer accepting data for its Repeater Directory directly from state Frequency Coordinators but instead from the publishers of “RF Finder,” an application that is popularly used on “smart phones.” This is apparently due to some sort of agreement between the ARRL and “RF Finder.” There is now a working agreement between the Utah Frequency Coordinator and RF Finder in which it is possible to make changes to the database. Because this update method is entirely manual (i.e. it is done online via forms and tables) it will take some time to go through the relevant Utah data and make the necessary corrections and updates. In the future, unless a means by which data may be synchronized is devised, updates to RF Finder data (and therefore also to the ARRL Repeater Directory) may lag behind those on the Utah VHF Society page. Please note that the Utah VHF Society is responsible only for data related to Utah repeaters and that it will be up to other entities to keep their portions of the database current. |
For detailed information about any single repeater, follow its link that looks like this: § |
Note: Beacon listings are for information only. The Utah VHF Society does not coordinate simplex or beacon activity.
-Proposed repeaters | Repeaters that have been proposed for future operation |
-Temporarily off the air | The operators of these repeaters have properly notified the frequency coordinator of their status. |
-Unknown status | Anyone with information about these repeaters should contact the Frequency Coordinator. |
Remember: Just because a frequency doesn't appear on the list, it does not mean that the frequency is not used! Frequencies used for control and linking purposes (to name just two examples) are not made public!

This list is generated automatically from the Utah VHF Society Frequency Coordinator's database and is, by definition, the authoritative, up-to-date list. This list also includes a few repeaters in adjacent states that, for purposes of frequency coordination, must be taken into account, owing to their potential impacts to Utah amateurs (signals do cross state lines - even on VHF!) For more information about the how and why of Frequency Coordination, visit the UVHFS Frequency Coordination Page. If you operate a system that is shown incorrectly, then that means that you need to contact the Frequency Coordinator and get correct information to him. This is the same data that is used in the ARRL Repeater Directory and for the UVHFS booklet! If the information is wrong here, it will also be wrong there!
