If the link requires PL, then turn off the PL when there is no COS from a user. (Many controllers can be rigged to implement this, or you can make a circuit to mute PL driven off COS gone). This dead hang time after a user lets up is usually when the repeater tries to ID. The distant repeater wont repeat it since it doesn't hear PL on the signal.
However, normally if the link radio is established on a 'remote-base' port of both systems, the controller is usually programmed to not send ID audio down a remote base port, so no Id-overlay problem. 73's Ralph W4XE -----Original Message----- From: Tony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 7:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Linking Question In my quest to learn about building my first repeater, I have thought of a potential problem. If I wanted to set up an RF link to another repeater, how do you overcome the potential problem of each of the repeaters ID'ing (walking on each other) at the same time. (I could see this happening if both repeater sites were idle at time of key-up. (Given that most repeaters ID in 10 minute intervels). Is there something that should be done during construction?
