This idea was originally developed by Patrick Lindecker, F6CTE. The Reed-Solomon ID (RSID) is a short 16-tone MFSK transmission which identifies the mode in use. The RSID transmission is about 180Hz wide and lasts for just less than two seconds. You should enable RSID when using an 'exotic' mode such as Olivia so that users of programs with RSID support know what mode you are using.
It's supported in fldigi, MultiPSK and the DM780 v5.0 betas, as time goes on it will become much more common.
