Interesting that the UK requires transmitted tone as well as received tone. Although I support this when I can, it has not been all that common on US repeaters.
It's pretty much standard where I have lived -- nearly all repeaters in the Chicago area transmit PL, as well as here in Northern California where I live now. Two major advantages. First, if propagation allows your receiver to hear a distant repeater, activating receive PL in your rig prevents it from bothering you. Second, receive PL allows your RX to be muted when your PL is not present, so your RX doesn't unsquelch when you drive through an area of loud noise.
