Are there any best practices or pitfalls to avoid when selecting a CTCSS tone for repeater input? Thanks in advance for your responses.

I can think of:

Try to pick the same tone frequency as others in your area are using.

Don?€?t pick one too high ¨C a guy near me has 254 Hz onn his EchoLInk node and it sure isn?€?t ?€?sub-audible?€? LOL
