Pierre,
I figured someone would bring up that argument. You make a good case for non USA users. There is in fact a nod to other countries on this WiKi page and in rpt.conf.
;beaconing=0 ; Send ID regardless of repeater activity (Required in the UK, but probably illegal in the US)
I guess we could have similar wording in the comments about ID speed provided there actually is a country that allows repeater IDs to be more than 20 WPM.
Can you (or anyone) make the case that more than 20 WPM repeater CW ID speed is allowed outside the USA?
