boydg is actually correct. According to the rules (97.119a) each station must transmit its ID. That means the XBR, just like any other repeater, must transmit its ID. Simply saying your ID through the XBR input, expecting the XBR to transmit it on the other band will not satisfy the requirement.The XBR must transmit its ID, and out both bands. So far, I only know of two mobile (or any kind of) rigs that can transmit its ID: the Kenwood TM-V71A and Kenwood TM-D710G. Thanks!
