Well, that's what you get with an uninverted 15 kHz spacing bandplan. Users DXing a repeater 15 kHz away from another one in their backyard will interfere & there's little you can do about it except use a different CTCSS tone & accept the fact that the repeater's performance will be severely degraded when this happens.
