"I don't see a problem with CTCSS: surely these days fitting CTCSS to an old radio is probably easier than having to build an old 1750Hz toneburst??"

Not so - if you fit ctcss, you need a switch to select which tone - or none. Unless you hang it in the mic lead as an external unit and that's messy...

I haven't used our local repeater -or any other- since they went ctcss
