The sure-fire method I use is to use a dual-band HT and go over to the

Doesn't an ID originating on the 70-cm link end up being
transmitted on *both* frequencies? Am I missing something?


I thought the point of cross-band repeat was that input and output
frequencies are so far apart that you don't need cavity filters.
Which is why you can do it in a simple transceiver. If true, what you
send to it on one band only gets transmitted on the other
band. Correct me if I'm wrong.
