All Colorado Connection repeaters require an 88.5Hz input tone and broadcast a 123.0Hz output tone. When in doubt, set your transmit tone to 88.5Hz and leave your receive tone as carrier squelch.

Experimental Repeaters
The Colorado Connection runs two experimental repeaters in the Denver area, one VHF and one UHF as noted above. You are more than welcome to use these repeaters and even encouraged to do so. Just know they may not be stable as we try out new features, new hardware, and new linking protocols. Have the ‘310 ready as a backup. For our “regular” repeaters our priority is reliability, these are the repeaters we where we are trying out new things that may not be quite so reliable yet. They are our beta test repeaters!
Crossband Repeaters
The Colorado Connection requests that you do not operate any crossband repeaters on our network without requesting *and receiving* permission first. In order to be approved to use a crossband repeater, your radio must be able to identify itself with your callsign. If this does not happen, you are putting only our callsign on your crossband which is unacceptable.
Please contact us if you wish to use any crossband system to access the Connection at any time.
