We had a voice id on our repeater about 10 years ago (along with the
cw id) and I agree with what someone else said on the net, it does
not work too well. The level is too high and it wipes out a user.
One good thing can be said for it however, and that is that it can be
faster than a 20wpm cw id. The thing is to make it go off between
transmissions. 

We found that a high frequency tone is best for a cw id. Something
between 2000 and 2500 Hz. It need not be as loud as a lower tone
and it is better heard on the small speakers in hand-held units.
