My pleasure Hal. Check out Andy's QST article in the reflectors files
section and Patrick Lindecker's documentation on RSID:

Well, RSID is about 170Hz wide so you wouldn't want to use it within a
cluster of PSK31 signals. It's unnecessary anyway since PSK31 is easily
recognized. On the other hand, it may not be easy for some to
distinguish PSK63F from PSK63 so it best to use it if there's enough
elbow room. The majority of modes use more spectrum than the 170Hz RSID
anyway so there's no QRM issue there.
Simply put, RSID is a short duration digital identifier that precedes
the digital mode signal so others can detect which mode is in use. It's
not unusual to detect the RSID without actually hearing the mode itself
so it is highly sensitive.
*I hear a signal and I think it is DominoEx or Olivia or what ever is
being sent and I never make the contact or cannot figure out what the
mode is. It gets frustrating when you get a really strong signal in
the evening , and you think you can work the operator and ragchew for
a while.*
We've all been there Hal. I'm sure you remember the early days, there
were only a few sound card modes to choose from; now there are more than
we can count, let alone identify by ear ; ). That's where RSID comes in.

All,
I was just wondering if there's any confusion or misunderstanding
among
the group about RS-ID? We all know that it's not always easy to
identify
a mode by sight and sound yet I still see many calling CQ without any
mode identification. The end result, no contacts. I'm sure most of
the
seasoned digital ops know what RS ID is and what it does, so
what's the
reasoning behind not using it?
