Absolutely. Then again, that doesn't always happen.
I remember an incident with two repeaters about 80 miles apart that had mixing products 600KHz apart. Both machines were clean. they just happened to have outputs spaced 600 KHz. Everything was fine until both machines were up at the same time, at which point they'd both start to howl until one of them timed out. When they both came up again, it was game on. Because of the distance between them, it was a hit-and-miss problem and it wasn't until there was a good band opening that somebody figured it out. One of the machines rechanneled and the problem was solved. With modern equipment, that problem might never happen again, but this was back in the 70's with truly 'amateur' grade gear. I guess that's why it's still called 'amateur' radio. 73, Mike WM4B From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chuck Kelsey Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 6:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood squelch quality I take the position that any mix or spurs need to be resolved since it will continue to cause problems regardless of CTCSS.

If all the repeaters in the same area use the same tone, then any mixing products, etc. also carry that tone. Mike WM4B
