| 6 | |||
| 7 | The RepeaterBook query dialog allows you to optionally filter by band, such as 2m, 70cm, etc. Note that the list of bands is populated from your bandplan selection (*Radio* -> *Select band plan...*). If you only see one or two bands in the dialog, make sure you have selected the appropriate (usually "North American") band plan. |

| 12 | 4 | Mike Brown | 1. Query each state that could be in your final distance (aka proximity) query |
| 13 | 1. Modify the last Chirp query to use latitude, longitude and distance (miles) - you'll still need to have a state selected but the cache will provide other state's results too |

| 14 | 1. Execute the distance query |

| 16 | Explanation |
||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 5 | Dan Smith | RepeaterBook has a distance based query called Proximity 2.0 that returns results from multiple states, Canada or Mexico but does not have an API with the same functionality. Using a multi-state query might trigger rate limiting by RepeaterBook. Chirp stores (caches) query results from previous queries. Instead of creating a new query Chirp will search the cache for the proximity results using longitude and latitude. |
