Chris, I agree with you.
I also feel that the blind are being left out of the equation because not
all radios are accessible to us.
Also, if a repeater owner chooses to broadcast its P.L. tone what good does
it do to require tones since that effectively cancels out the purpose of the
tone. Most radios have a tone finding feature wherein if a repeater is
active it can find the right P.L. tone. So I really don't see that this
policy will do much good.
