FB8 call sign question

[speedway_navigator]

Do all repeaters in the system need to ID or just one?
I looked at 90.245 and did not see any info, then I turned off my liz dexia and looked at 90.425 but still don't see a reference to multiple xmtrs.

Things might have changed by now, but when I was building Motorola trunked sites back in the '90s, only the lowest frequency in the group had an ID on it. It was generated in the site controller.

Depends on the system & how it's programmed. Take the Sunshine Communications LTR systems in SE Pennsylvania for example: Every frequency beeps its callsign at talk group X-XX-253

I also believe the rules are murky but have always interpreted them as follows:
Above 700 MHZ and frequencies are part of a set: Lowest numerical transmit frequency. Note the rules are clear here.
Below 700 MHZ because frequencies can come from anywhere in the radio service, not as an organized set, then all FB2 and the FB8 transmit frequencies should be ID'd.

Interesting if anybody ever got an official or even a casual reading from the Commission on the below 700 MHZ trunk systems.

I can confirm this is the way the FCC requires it on 800MHz. I'd have to do some digging to find the rule part that addresses it.

Same way I've been doing it since the 1990's, ID on the lowest repeater output frequency.
