You are assuming that all users will be coming into the first crossband equipment, but in reality, there may be users that come in on the crosslink receiver, therefore, no ID would ever happen on that user at the main transmitter. Also, if the crosslink were run in carrier squelch, and noise

Hi, Squelched discriminator is a paradox of terms! Most of the time the squelch function is derived from the noise seen at the discriminator. I suspect you really mean either filtered (deemphasized) or unfiltered gated audio and/or COS. On a Kenwood redio I had a similar requirement. I used

You're assuming they will. If it is guarded (and ANY control link should be guarded and not running CSQ), they should not be coming in the control link. But, your point is well taken. I guess someone can break into the site and key your TX, too. It's really the same difference as if they hack
