Well, now that the CTCSS is turned onto a repeater now on 145.330 they
don't get any pager intermod like they used to. Don't know if the CTCSS
was on then, but I know of repeaters that do have CTCSS tones, but they
still experience pager intermod problems so maybe the pager site wasmoved,
and the CTCSS has been thereall a long.
