just popped up with a tone of 79.7.
Now, if I could just capture the English GMRS repeater's tone on that freq, I could block out the others.

Most scanners wont do that tone I believe.

Well, if it's a Motorola-specific one, the tones on either side of it will usually suffice.

I am receiving English on 462.700 167.9PL... probably an LA repeater though.

Well, scanners might do it, but GMRS bubblepacks don't, normally. And they don't work 'on either side of it', either, at all reliably. They just get some burps of work, broken up by a lot of 'don't work' time.
The Pro 96 will do the tone, for instance. It's just not one of the 'cheap bubblepack standard 38 tones'. A GOOD CTCSS unit will have 50+ tones preset.

I would hazard that most ham radios have 38. All 3 of mine that I've owned (2 Icoms and a Kenwood) had 38.
