Same here in the DC area. Many repeater send the tones through so you can
have CTCSS on receive too. Makes for a LOT less noise in your radio from
local squelch breaks.
We also use CTCSS tone squelch on simplex as well. With the proliferation
of RFI devices, it really helps.

Hi Ken,
It may be that way in Montana (one of my favorite places in the summer)
but it's not that way in CA. Output tones on a repeater are common here
because of the repeater density (simple proximity, co-channel or by
distance) and because summer ducting is common.
