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

Not on the 70-cm side coming OUT of the mobile radio. That's why you
come in on the 2 meter input.

No matter which way you slice it, when you give an ID
it goes out on BOTH bands concurrently. Still don't see
that there is even any issue here?

OK, I will try this one more time.

KB9X is running a crossband repeat. It is listening on two meters, and
retransmitting everything it hears on 70 cm. KB9X is not a part of any
QSO. He is not giving any id. He might, in fact, be asleep.

W9ABC is transmitting on two meters. KB9X's crossband rig hears W9ABC
and retransmits that signal on 70 cm.

Where is the id for the 70 cm signal? It needs to be id'ed with a call
of KB9X (because it is KB9X's transmitter that is creating it) but KB9X
is asleep.

73, KB9X
