Currently hearing talkgroup 3100 on the above repeater. Anyone know where the repeater is located or it’s callsign. 5x5 in Orange County.

I don't think the *spot machines have to be coordinated.
Just an FYI their 442.150 Kent machine is off the air due to site issues. I just threw the 443.150 frequency in my scanner here at my work QTH in Beacon, and comes in full scale on the scanner. I'm suspecting that 443.150 might be coming off of Mt. Beacon. I'm getting it full scale on the scanner and the window my scanner is near faces Mt. Beacon. Mt. Beacon is the only site at work that comes in nice and strong, all other sites come in pretty weak.
I pulled the antenna off and I'm still getting two bars.
Sitting at Riverfront Park in Cornwall-on-Hudson and staring at Mt. Beacon and I think you are right with the signal I was getting as well.
Guys, I don’t believe he is running a RFShark through an external amplifier and blasting it out from Mt Beacon. Just a new repeater on the air that carries the 3100 talkgroup. Heard the North America talkgroup 3 as well.

They may not need to be coordinated, but putting one in the repeater part of the band is at the very least lack of good ham practice and courtesy. If it is an open spot, the user should only need to run 1 watt or less to use it, and my DVMega only transmits on 1/10 watt so you should not be hearing it from any great distance. Probably someone who passed the Tech test, bought the necessary parts, and plugged it without doing any research about proper ham use of the frequency. Ham Radio Repeater Frequency Coordination is a good place to start.
I've tried to key the repeater with no luck. It appears that they do not have the RX antenna connected, or they are using a non-standard input. From checking a few sources I'm being told they are testing that pair.
Well tell your source it’s getting out really good over on this side of the river. Getting great coverage in Orange County. Nice to see more DMR coming up this way.
