OK, this can get confuseing. When you operate xband repeat, your HT will most likely be set to 440, to link to a distant 2 meter repeater from the radio in you car. So when you transmit to the 2 meter repeater with your hanheld, the mobile radio repeats the signal out on 2 meter, at the same time you are transmitting on 440. YOu can ID from your handheld, which then goes out on your mobile on 2 meter, but when you recieve back from you mobile, it can not ID, unless it has an ID'er to do it for you. So you either have to add one to your mobile dual band rig, or buy one that has it built in. Last I checked only the Kenwood has it.
