- | ====== Travel Search ====== | ||
- | The travel search is a search along routes and highways. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== FAQ ==== | ||
- | |||
- | === How are repeaters added to the Travel Search Results? === | ||
- | Repeaters are associated with a route by a module that only admins have access to. When they add the repeater to the route, it becomes available in the Travel Search module. It will also display the flag for the route it covers. | ||
- | |||
- | Visitors to the site may nominate a repeater to a route by adding the route into the coverage field while updating a repeater. Visitors should also mention that they are nominating the route coverage in the "note to admin" section of the edit request form. | ||
- | |||
- | === Is there a certain criteria for repeaters to be added to the Travel Search? === | ||
- | Yes. Just because a repeater has physical coverage for a route it may not be a good fit for this module. | ||
- | |||
- | The Travel Search is designed to show a list of repeaters for a visitor traveling through the area. Imagine yourself as that traveler coming through on a highway at 55 MPH+ and would like to hold a QSO, get some local information, | ||
- | |||
- | * Wide area coverage. Low level repeaters that cover a route for just a few miles should not be added. Visitors will travel through the coverage area too rapidly. | ||
- | * Frequently monitored. If the repeater is not well used or no one is listening, it is not of much use. | ||
- | * Friendly. The repeater needs to be friendly to visitors coming through. | ||
