Here's my vote.  You can have 7 discrete message pre-programmed in.  
I've ordered several.  I basically put the following in each message:

(10 seconds carrier), DE N0EDV/B EN45 (Pause 5 seconds)  The carrier and 
the pause is programmed in, so you have to specify the length you want 
of each.  The message will repeat forever.

The neat part is that I have him put the same message into each "buffer" 
except that I change the grid in each message to grids surrounding me.  
So, I can put a beacon in any of the 7 grids around me by selecting the 
correct message with dip switches or hard wiring.

6 bucks.  Can't hardly beat that and the circuitry is so simple!
