Crossband repeat

There is one legal problem with using a dual-band rig as a crossband repeater.
Both the 2-meter and 70-cm sides are ham transmitters, and must be ID'd every 10
minutes and at the end of every series of transmissions, just like every other
station and repeater.
This is an interesting point, and one that I had not considered. I
thought about ID, but not on the UHF output of the crossbanding unit.
I don't remember seeing any available gear that supports an automated id
for this transmitter, but then again I wasn't looking for it
specifically. Anyone know of a rig that can do the id?
