Connecticut 902 Hear Clear status

Post by n1oty »

I'm getting ready to do a major update on my code plug by adding regional 902 repeaters to the radio. I typically use the www.nerepeaters.com web site, as their info is typically quite accurate. Here in New England, about half of the NJ MSF5000's run Hear Clear and half do not, now that a work-around has become known. My problem is that I want to put the CT machines into my code plug and the web site indicates that they are not running Hear Clear. However, last weekend at Near-Fest, I got talking to some ham friends from CT who were quite adamant that the CT machines are running Hear Clear. I'd like to do this programming session this weekend and get it right so I don't have to drag out the RIB, cables and power supply repeatedly. Any knowledgeable input, especially from the repeater owners/trustees would be appreciated.

All three Connecticut machines are running hearclear. This would be Guilford (927.4875) Hamden (927.4125) and Branford (927.8125).
I maintain the Guilford machine and personally know the owners of the Hamden and Branford repeaters.

Thank you very much for confirming the info that I was given at Near-Fest. You've saved me a lot of potential aggravation and I will forward your info to the nerepeaters.com maintainers for correction.

I sent an e-mail off to the nerepeaters crew advising them of the situation, and requested a change in their database reflecting the HearClear status.
