Bill,

Cheap is not always best.  The easy solution is a Communications Specialists
ID-8, which costs about $70.  Go here:

Since most mobile radios have DC power at the mike connector, you can simply
crimp the ID-8 flying leads into the appropriate modular plug.  You may need
to install a jumper inside the radio to bring the activity signal to the
ID-er, so that it won't perpetually key itself.  Some of the very
inexpensive ID-ers have little or no RF immunity, and don't operate properly
when close to the transmitter.  The ID-8 is a versatile and reliable device.
I have several in service.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Quick CW ID'er

Has anyone came up with a cheap easy CW ID'er for a GR 500 repeater?
I was hoping I could find something that would, say, plug into the mic 
socket that would ID every 10 minutes.
