repeaterbook.com autocomplete doesn't work in North America #445

Closed jancona closed 4 months ago

jancona commented 4 months ago

I'm in the US and the Repeaterbook autocomplete doesn't work for me. Evidently the repeaterbook.com database is segmented between US, Canada, Mexico and the rest of the world. It appears that QDMR is using the https://www.repeaterbook.com/api/exportROW.php endpoint, where ROW stands for "rest of world." For North America, "https://www.repeaterbook.com/api/export.php?callsign=KS1R" works.

It appears the only US, Canada and Mexico are in the separate database. Caribbean and Central American countries are in the ROW database. So you might be able to use the callsign prefix to choose the endpoint, but a checkbox in Settings might be easier.

Uh, that is annoying. Okay, implemented it via the settings dialog. So you can now select the region there. If you want to test it, checkout the branch referenced to the right 445-repeaterbookcom-autocomplete-doesnt-work-in-north-america.

Tested it here, appears to work. But boy, is the NA interface slow.

FYI: I've already merged these changes into the master branch, if you want to test it.

Sorry for the delay, I just got around to testing this on the master branch and it works fine. Thanks!
