The W1AAD repeater software upgrades have been completed.  We now have full G3, DPLUS, and ircDDBGateway features.  The new G3 features are pretty obscure and don’t operate without purchasing the latest Icom gear like the ID-51APLUS2, so the repeater not usually be in that mode.

The repeater will normally be in the ircDDBGateway mode and connected to Reflector 69C, which services CT, RI, and Western MA.

You can tell what mode the repeater is in by viewing the “Dashboard” status screen, or by the voice announcements.  A female voice means ircDDBGateway, and a male voice means pure Icom G3.
