RT Systems software seamlessly integrates with RepeaterBook, providing direct access to current repeater information from within the programming interface. Leveraging RepeaterBook's comprehensive database, users can swiftly locate nearby repeaters, access frequency specifics, and update their radio settings with ease.

Several years ago, RepeaterBook and RT Systems established a partnership to create an API facilitating direct import of RepeaterBook data into the RT Systems application. This integration allows RT Systems software owners to select parameters and import data directly into their programming software without any additional subscription fees.

Alternatively, RT Systems software users can perform searches on Repeaterbook.com and export results into a compatible file format for importing into their RT Systems programming software, regardless of the targeted radio model. More advanced or customized searches may necessitate using Repeaterbook.com directly, requiring an intermediate step of saving files locally before importing into RT Systems software, thereby enhancing flexibility
