How hot dose it needs to be to hatch eggs.

Depends on the incubator. I've read anything from 99.5-101 a little cooler for forced air and a little higher for still air. I keep my little giant still air at 100

Is 102 okay?

Yes

It depends on whether or not you use still air or forced air with a fan. In STILL AIR 102 is okay. You need a higher temp. to compensate for heat layers without a fan. In an incubator with a fan you will want to use 99.5-100 degrees because the heat will be distributed more evenly. If you incubate at higher temps in a forced air, the chicks will develop faster and hatch sooner and may have associated health problems and possibly even fail to hatch. A bit low is better then a bit high so err with the side of caution.
