The analogue voice repeaters run by the Central Scotland F.M Group all can be opened with 1750Hz tone, so round these parts there was never any need to ditch your old boat anchor and upgrade to a new rig with CTCSS, so that really does not count for the lack of activity here.

Activity is lower here than it was back in the day, but there is usually some traffic. Paisley 2m repeater can be well used during the day, and the Kilsyth 70Cm repeater is a good natter box. This week I have had quite a number of QSO's on both 2 & 70 simplex. Still no where near the traffic as seen in the past though.
