Repeater with carrier-specific information

A scanning receiver configured to:

• identify one or more frequency ranges associated with a plurality of cellular carriers;
• scan the one or more frequency ranges;
• identify cellular carrier specific information for the one or more frequency ranges associated with the plurality of cellular carriers;
• and
• provide the cellular carrier specific information to the repeater;
• wherein the cellular carrier specific information is scanned and periodically updated for the display.

A repeater comprising:

• a first port;
• a second port;
• one or more amplification paths coupled between the first path and the second path;
• a scanning receiver;
• and
• one or more processors and memory configured to:
• receive, from the scanning receiver, cellular carrier specific information for one or more frequency ranges of a plurality of cellular carriers;
• wherein the cellular carrier specific information is scanned and periodically updated for display.

At least one machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon for communication of cellular carrier specific information, the instructions when executed by one or more processors at a scanning receiver perform the following:

• identifying one or more frequency ranges associated with a plurality of cellular carriers, wherein the one or more frequency ranges are limited to the capability of the repeater;
• scanning the one or more frequency ranges;
• identifying cellular carrier specific information for the one or more frequency ranges associated with the plurality of cellular carriers;
• and
• providing the cellular carrier specific information to the repeater;
• wherein the cellular carrier specific information is scanned and periodically updated for display.
