Same here, been using digi modes for years and only find now that programs like MultiPSK and a few others offer that, but I find MultiPSK way too much to use. I still use the single mode programs for ease of operation and they do not have the RS ID feature.
My 2 cents worth anyways..

Hello, Andy, After reading your post about RIS ID, I did a quick dogpile search on "RIS ID Ham Radio" and nothing much turned up, just a few forum posts, etc. If you or somebody will write up an info article, laying out the basic concept and including any relevant links, I'd be glad to turn it into HTML and publish it at the USPacket.Org website, so that when somebody does a search on RIS ID they'll get the straight poop, right off the bat. It would give us all a direction to point when questions come up. I'd write it up myself, but I'm ignorant about anything beyond the basic concept. - It sounds like something I would be glad to support. 73 DE Charles Brabham, N5PVL n5...@uspacket.org ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy obrien <mailto:k3uka...@gmail.com> To: digitalradio <mailto:digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 7:27 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Use the *$%#ing RS ID! OK folks, I am officially declaring any excuse NOT to use RIS ID as invalid. Now that FLDIGI, MULTIPSK, and DM780 all have it... use it! Obviously when using PS31, RTTY, and Packet, you probably do not need it. Last night I saw several people CQing with "odd" Olivia mode configurations, no responses . My view is that it should be standard operating practice to CQ with RS-ID on when using anything but RTTY and PSK31! Andy K3UK
