Having had it tested it on a couple of UK repeaters, I found they require a
tone at the start of every transmission irrrespective of the gap between
transmissions; The present functionality is fine
Admittedly most have been accepting PL for many years now

Hi Wayne and the list,
without having actually testing this:
> * EU REPEATER 1750 HZ PL TONE BURST: If a 1750 Hz
> PL TONE is selected, a 500 ms tone burst will be
> sent on each PTT activation.
This sounds wrong.
During a normal QSO the tone is only needed once. Here in DL the
1750Hz tone is used to "turn a repeater on," and it stays active until
it no longer detects an "incoming" signal for 10 seconds or so. In
other words, transmitting the tone as a kind of inverse roger beep
would be very irritating.
