That's the beauty of it. You will be dealing only with ham repeaters and can easily solve any issues. By using any tone, you will be dealing with PS vs ham and we all know who will win out in that case. By limiting the number of tones, the two-way shops can avoid that tone in that area if they want to avoid issues with ham transmitters. Most of the two-way shops will gladly agree since they know what some of the ham equipment is like <cough> spectrum <cough>. As one who has 90% of the ham repeaters running the same tone, and few if any problems, I don't see your argument. Joe M.
