That's quite awful to be honest. I'd be annoyed. Turns out you can mod it to get CTCSS in Europe though. See:
https://www.mods.dk/index.php?ModelI...RadioId=1-icom (you have to create an account and you get one download a day). Madness really. My £55 ML&S "contract fell through" clearance sale FT-25E HT does both CTCSS and 1750Hz out of the box.
Regardless I thought policy was repeaters are supposed to accept 1750Hz anyway still?
