I'm surprised you didn't suggest that the analog FM users on simplex simply put a PL tone on- it works in simplex, as well, you know. That would allow people to maintain their unsquelched condition if a DV communication is in progress. These reasons to keep from offending non-DSTAR users don't

Actually, our only dual-mode P25 repeater around here went by the wayside, because the digital users got tired of the non-CTCSS understanding analog users keying up in analog in the middle of a QSO to ask What's wrong with the repeater?!... That's the problem I see with dual mode. Dual
