According to an article on KB9VBR called Cross-Band Repeater Operation, "Kenwood’s TM-V71A and TM-D710 now have the ability to identify the outgoing UHF transmission." This article also goes on to explain very well the legal issue with cross-band repeater operation. Here is a quote, <small>"When you transmit, you identify your transmission with your callsign. The incoming UHF transmission is identified, and the outgoing vhf transmission is identified, since you are the control operator of your handheld radio and of the cross-band transceiver. On the other side of the transmission, the repeater identifies its own transmissions. That transmission is then retransmitted by the cross-band transceiver on the UHF channel. But this UHF transmission does not have your callsign attached to it, so it’s an unidentified transmission. Most cross-band repeat capable radios are designed with this fault."</small>
