Curious why you say that using tone squelch on both TX and RX is not recommended???

Forrest,

This is more directed to new users that don't know what tone squelch is or how it works. What happens is that they program both a TX tone and an RX tone for a repeater that does not transmit one and then ask "The green receive light lights up but I can't hear anything. Why doesn't it work?" Programming no RX tone always works. Programming an RX tone when the other station doesn't transmit one, or transmits a different tone than the one programmed, never works (unless your goal is to never hear that station:).

Once it understand how tone squelch works, why it would be needed in a particular application and it is known that the remote station is transmitting the matching tone, it is certainly encouraged to use both.
