But its the rules! 73 Jim W7RY § 97.119 Station identification. (a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, must transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes during a communication, for the purpose of clearly making the source of the transmissions from the station known to those receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit unidentified communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign, any call sign not authorized to the station. (b) The call sign must be transmitted with an emission authorized for the transmitting channel in one of the following ways: (1) By a CW emission. When keyed by an automatic device used only for identification,the speed must not exceed 20 words per minute; On 12/15/2013 1:30 PM, Geoff wrote:

So, there is a "speed=" in the morse stanza. Does it have a governor on it to limit the speed maximum to 20 wpm? My entries greater than 20 make no difference. And why would I want faster than 20 wpm you ask, my HUB nodes are only send "ID" to web transceivers, and I would like them faster. I have observed that at 20 wpm, there is a bit of jitter and faster may not be possible. (An ID I built years ago had a limit on how fast it could go before the code elements were overrun by timing)
I've been meaning to ask that same question.
Rules wise, since there's no CW requirement *at all* for 'any' license, then there shouldn't be a speed limit on how fast repeater id's should be limited to.
I like my code speed around 30~35wpm these days. I used to copy NTS traffic at 40+wpm. 20wpm is such a '~*yawn*~' bore...
