The DMR repeaters near me ID in analog CW. It makes my TYT-9600 make a little pop sound even though it's in DMR mode for that frequency.
Had a listen to my local DMR repeater on analogue here in VK4 and interestingly, it doesn't ident on CW in analogue like the 2m and 70cm local analogue repeaters.
Most DMR repeaters in VK don't transmit CW ID. This may be partially because a lot of the repeaters use commercial Motorola hardware, which is not designed for ham use and may not be able to transmit an FM CW ID.
Even the MMDVM based repeaters are not normally configured to transmit CW ID.
I have no idea whether this is strictly legal or not, but it's the way things are
Not in Sweden either, most FM repeaters ID but not the DMR ones.
The Swedish PTS (PTT) regulations for amateur radio is extremely relaxed and we can do almost anything as long as we are inside our allocated frequencies and doesn't use more power than allowed.
The amateur radio usage should follow ITU and CEPT regulation, so we should use our callsigns in the beginning and end of the QSO and at regular intervals for longer contacts.
But nothing specific for repeaters, I guess that as almost all repeaters are documented, well known and at a fixed location it's possible to find out the owner anyway.
I use CW id on my hotspots but I doubt that others have enabled it.
