Re: [digitalradio] Solving the RSID problem once and for all
Patrick, Perhaps in detection of the CQ CQ string of characters in transmission, when the TX RS ID is Off and for a sub-set of modes (?) Having the TX RS ID turn on automatically when sending CQ is a great idea. I don't think anyone would oppose to having it on full-time when it comes to the more exotic modes as either. Of course it's not necessary with the ones that are easy to recognize like PSK31 and RTTY. Something for the wish list Patrick.
