When you go to Mgmt > Advert you can click the button at the bottom to "Scan Neighbor Repeaters". When the scan is done, only four repeaters are shown. Maybe showing all repeaters in a scrollable list is nice? For bonus points, copy the name of the repeater to the clipboard when tapped :)

Adittionally, it might be nice to have the "8s" timer actually count down to zero to give more visual feedback that something is happening.

Fixed/implemented!

I also actually like that the list keeps it's entries when I navigate elswhere in between.

Thank you!

What could be enhanced for user information is that a tap on the repeater not unconditionally copies the name to the clipboard, but opens the detailed information screen of that repeater, where one can see coordinates (option to show on map), ID, etc. (like in the contacts page).

improved in v0.9.11.
As you described it, as soon as you touch the line around the device name, it will jump to the Contact detail view.
At the end of the link (right) after the "Signal" bar, there will be a "Add" Button if the Repeater is not known, if the repeater is known in your list, there is no Add button!

I find that screen very confusing.

(It seems that) there appear also repeaters that are heard via flood adverts via hops, not only neighbour (zero hop) repeaters:

This is contrary to the "neighbour"-notion and what the "Scan"-function actually does and what that section does on other ("Ripple-Gui", "MeshOS") firmwares.

I would really have the "Neigbor RPTs" screen reserved for zero-hop repeaters, maybe more-hop repeaters if it is useful to have it there after a separator (and then giving information about the hop count).

Regards!
