Jim, I'm sorry, but GMRS (part 95) repeaters are NOT required to have tone access. GMRS is a shared service and there is absolutely no requirement by the FCC that access is restricted by a PL tone. Same is true with at least my part 90 LMRS license, I'm not required to have CTCSS or DCS enabled on my repeater. For some assigments in part 90, maybe its a requirement but not on mine, VHF. I'm sorry but you have your info totally incorrect (I'm not trying to flame you).
My appologies to the group re: regulations discussion. If someone wants to take this matter up with me, you can email me at robert @ rtoplus dot com.
