I pick up a new ARRL repeater handbook every couple of years.
Same here.....

Me too. You can get it with all the data on a CD and software that makes it pretty easy to download all the repeaters along your travel path into a table that can be uploaded to your radio.

You can try http://www.repeaterbook.com/ radioreferance.com also works.. also using chirp programming software http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home you can pull data for an area directly from from repeater book and import it into chirp.

This site is pretty handy as well. http://k5ehx.net/repeaters/qrepeater.php
When you click on the map, It'll show you the repeaters that are in range of the area you selected. It'll also show you the area that a specific repeater can cover taking into account the local terrain.

Online options are handy when planning a trip or setting up a radio, but I like having the book in the truck all the time just in case you find yourself in need. I am one of the luddites who don't have a carputer or smart phone.

They have a broad range of search options.
The sortable data fields work well for manual programming too. If I'm inputting stuff, I can set up groups via PL tone, and do them without resetting the PL for each repeater.
The K5EHX site allows for you to google map a route - and that's great for traveling.

I second both of these. I have an ARRL repeater book, half of the stuff around we was incorrect. Repeaterbook was up to date, and it's easy to import info from CHIRP, send it to the radio, and it's there set to go.
edit: Forgot to add they also have free apps for both iPhone and Android that will use the gps in your phone and list the nearest repeaters to you. Useful if you're in an area where you may not have any repeaters programmed.

I just downloaded an app for my phone that works great so far (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56Ym0yLnJlcGVhdGVyIl0.). It uses GPS on the phone to list the nearest repeater and codes. On a test trip, it seemed to match the book we had perfectly. Handy when traveling in areas you do not know the names of mountains or towns.
