Not to get into a rules debate (no conclusions drawn here), but I will
simply point out 97.113(b)(1):
"b) The call sign must be transmitted with an emission authorized for the
transmitting channel in one of the following ways:
(1) By a CW emission. When keyed by an automatic device used only
for identification, the speed must not exceed 20 words per minute;"
An IDer board, such as the one made by Autocode, fits the above description
exactly.
A repeater controller that sends CW is an automatic device, but it is used
for more than identification, as it also sends command responses, telemetry
on system parameters, etc.
