Bob and Ian,
                        There are six repeaters that I operate in the Washington DC area;


462.550    Seven Corners Virginia         141.3 Hz     (4A)

462.675    Seven Corners Virginia         141.3 Hz     (4A)

462.575    Arlington, Virginia                 141.3 Hz     (4A)

462.625   Wheaton, Maryland        156.7 Hz   (5A)

462.650   Bull Run Mountain Virginia     146.2   (4B)

462.700   Southeast Washington, DC      141.3 Hz     (4A)


Those are the normal tones used for general public access.

Most of the repeaters, with the exception of the Wheaton 625 repeater, 
have tone  123.0 Hz (3Z) as a dedicated tone for use by CERT users.    
The Alexandria Radio Club 462.625 MHz repeater is using the 123.0 Hz 
CERT tone to support CERT operations in the Alexandria and Arlington areas.

Mike
