Uhhh... coordinators DO have the authority to set the terms for which
they will grant (or deny) a coordination. It's the same as limiting the
ERP, or antenna height. If you say the coordinator has no authority to
require specifications, then what IS a coordination? Answer: It's a set
of operating conditions which must be met in order to get along with
other cochannel and adjacent channel operations. That INCLUDES requiring
CTCSS/CDCSS.
The FCC themselves have ruled in favor of repeaters operating
CTCSS/CDCSS when all other factors are equal (both holding
coordinations, operating within their coordinations, etc) when it comes
to interference issues.
