I have to assume he was talking about repeaters that are carrier acccess
if he's hitting several.

It's always been bad practice to let a remote base ID on the downlink
side by itself. It could easily come up over the top of someone, even if
you have a "busy-channel lockout" on it-that depends on the remote base
receiver hearing someone, and it may not.
And if the person using the remote doesn't ID himself, he's illegal and
the control op should shut him down.
