Collin, the easy way to ID a split site repeater is to put the controller at the receive site and configure the transmit site to pass the ID through from the receive site. The only thing you would need at the transmit site is a time out timer, in case something gets hung up. Using a CTCSS at the receive site that is passed along to the transmit site and using a tone decoder at the receive site will help keep out any stray signals at the input of the transmit site.

I plan on linking the 2 meter RX with the 2 meter TX via 440MHZ link. Has anyone done this which could help me with ideas about how to identify the main 2 meter TX and the 440 link TX. Will I need to hear redundant ID's? The only way I could come up with was to have two separate repeaters, one with 2 meters in and 440 out, the other with 440 in and 2 meters out and have separate controllers on each with their own separate ID. Am I way off? Thanks, Collin _
