Used to be able to transmit to it but only able to listen now. OMG someone else in CT with a GMRS radio! lol I never connected with them but i am in Danbury area. I did try some of the others here in CT but they all seem to be defunct. So few if any around CT. Quote
LeoG Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 They changed the incoming tone because someone gave it out and the repeater was taken over by people in Hartford who only spoke Spanish. They overwhelmed the repeater and the owner decided the only way to have it stop was to change the input tone. If you go to the repeater facebook page and private message him he should respond and you can get the tone once again. He is also implementing an ID # to users like the Holyoke 575 has. So when you get the tone code you will also get an ID #. WRHS218 and WRUU653 2 Quote
WRUB263 Posted March 2 Author Report Posted March 2 Thanks LeoG for answering my Glastonbury repeater question. Much appreciated. Quote
LeoG Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 Yep, I already contacted him and got the new tone and my ID#, 461 if you ever want to try to call out. But for the most part I hang out on Holyoke and my own repeater. Quote

I haven't had great success getting my access to my account since it was disabled in Nov of last year. I don't use it much so I was a bit confused as to why. So if there is any other way to request access please let me know, thanks Quote
LeoG Posted Wednesday at 08:27 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 08:27 PM I contacted him for you. We'll see what happens. WSIK532 and SteveShannon 1 1 Quote

Did that actually stop the people who were not authorized to use it? I would think most interfering users would figure out what the new tones / codes were pretty easily, unless they just got the tones and had no idea they were not authorized. Quote
