Does having numerous repeaters PL'd with the same tone freq. increase the probability of the normally generated intermod/mixed signal to now carry within the produced signal a correct PL tone that may land on the input freq. of another local repeater? Is it considered a bad practice to utilize the same PL for numerous repeaters in the same band all located within a few miles of each other?
No and no. Most of the time, most repeaters in a generalized area all use the same PL tone. That is so that coordinating bodies can have some assurance that they know what tones are being used in an area - and can maintain separation between machines on the same frequency and with the same tone. For instance - in south Mississippi (say Hattiesburg south to the coast) - essentially all machines use 136.5.
