PL access is a useful tool when all other means have been taken to get
rid of undesirable audio artifacts on a repeater. Usually this includes
harmonious
coordination with the other users at a site and a knowledgeable technical
approach to the problem.
All to often though, mandatory PL is just a band aid to hide the lack of
expertise of those concerned.

Any new repeater coordination in Texas MUST have CTCSS or DCS access, no
exception. Only older coordinations are grandfathered with open squelch
access. It just does not make any sense to put on a repeater these days
without some kind of access control.
Unfortunately, some hams equate access control to a 'closed' system. That
kind of thinking needs to go the way of AM phone :-)

I do remember that the Icom 02AT had subaudiable tone as an encode
(TX) function over 20 years ago. As to the repeaters, it has and
continues to be an owner option in most areas of the US. I don't
there is a real date as to when it was introduced in repeaters.
