If I'm reading this right he's saying even when the band is up he only
hears one.

I guess that makes sense - I was thinking that the remote base would
just ID after activity (quickly) - there'd be a single final ID that
wouldn't be at the end of a transmission if it were done right.
The person using the remote base would ID themselves, but is that a
valid ID for the remote base? Ahh well, I don't want to start that here
on the list, for sure. Please - no one bother to answer that. I'll go
read up. No one seems to be too interested in remote-base type
operation around here anyway... it does seem to be popular in some
places though, from reading along on the list.
Just out of curiosity and because it's more on-topic - how many people
have RB's of some sort on their repeater systems on the list, and to
which band(s)?
