Fortunately, all are still using FM, so capture effect will not allow the repeater to see the TOC of the other weak user.
I have never - ever - heard a false mute of a signal from the TOC of 'other users'. Before that happens, the repeater will lose the CDCSS code and will mute due to loss of code rahter than see a TOC. And even when that happens, the signal will come right back when it can see the valid CDCSS code. Aside from the above, what is the difference of what you described vs a repeater using CTCSS seeing the TOC as another CTCSS tone? It seems that should happen too if it can happen at all. Joe M.
