Gee, I wonder how the repeater notes that?  Suppose it doesn't care?  It 
doesn't....

Yes it would.  However, it would be a lot more expensive than this one. This 
one works, as I and many others have used it over the last 15-17 years to 
access a repeater.  I've got Comm Spec PL encoders/decoders and they work 
without a flaw.  But you pay for that quality...
