I have two Kenwood Community Repeaters, one on UHF and the other on VHF. The
thing that makes them a community repeater is they have a multi user CTCSS
or Digital Tone Panel and each user/customer is assigned a tone. The newer
mobile units and portables are set up for BUSY CHANNEL LOCK OUT which means
that if a user goes to use the repeater when another user is on the air, the
mobile unit or the user waiting will get a tone/flashing light to indicate
that the channel is busy and it prevents someone from cutting in on an
on-going conversation. So it is like any other repeater except it has the
multi user tone panel.

Good Luck..Jim  KA2AJH

What exactly is a community repeater? I've seen references to it, but 
I haven't seen a definition yet.
