[Elecraft] [K3] Scanning for repeater tones.

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Same here in the DC area.  Many repeater send the tones through so you can 
have CTCSS on receive too.  Makes for a LOT less noise in your radio from 
local squelch breaks.

We also use CTCSS tone squelch on simplex as well.  With the proliferation 
of RFI devices, it really helps.
