Granted, but distant weak signals (in my experience) are the exception on repeaters..not the rule. CTCSS on the input would have kept the wireless mic(s) from getting through the repeater, until someone keyed up the repeater with a valid signal. At that point, it would have been a game of which transmitter captured the receiver. We have a similar problem in our locale with a wide area UHF system. The Air Force has a powerful radar system on a base ~80 miles away. From time to time we hear the radar beam sweep across the input, right on frequency. It doesn't key the repeater, but it can be heard once the receiver is opened. It's annoying at worst, because most of the voice traffic on the repeater is strong enough to (almost) fully capture the receiver...except for the rare, weak signals. Then its "sorry, try later when you're closer.."
