I played with MultiPSK and listened to the generated RS sequence. In my opinion it is always the same modulation. According to my ears and spectrogram it seems to be some kind of MFSK modulation, always the same number of tones and symbol speed. Please correct me, but I think there is a misunderstanding on the list. I suppose that the RS ID is very similar to Olivia, there are three differences though and I thing we have discussed it by personal e-mails. - Olivia uses Hadamard/Welsh transformation, RS uses Reed Solomon block code - Olivia is decoded parallel on a constraned band, RS is decoded parallel on the whole sound card spectrum. The channel separation is half tone. - RS code sends just one block with the mode ID. Olivia and RS decode both a lot of channels in parallel (at least the original Olivia code from Pawel Jalocha does that) and it selects the one, which gives highest correlation. This automatically gives the answer for other party frequency. I received the RS code from Patrick, but I did not add it to PocketDigi yet. I am busy now with firmware programming of ATS-3A, I hope to teach it to modulate the single tone modes by programming its DDS. It will be the ultimate portable digital set, hi. 73, Vojtech OK1IAK
