I think we worry too much about bothering users with CW IDs. I can see how huge backbones or IRLP need to deal with this, but in a simple, linked pair of repeaters, I don't think it's that big an issue.
I've always programmed my S-Coms to send the impolite ID at around 300-350 Hz. It's audible, even on the end user's filtered radio, but very low-key. It doesn't intrude on the conversation. On a link, I'd program all IDs the same way, and leave the individial repeater IDs at a higher audio frequency. 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: crackedofn0de To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 12:31 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Link Identification I'm looking into linking two repeaters with a simple pair of "remote base" radios but I can't think of a way to elegantly handle the ID on those link transmitters... .
