The RSID experience is still positive on this one. Most notable, is the
presence of the recent release of DRM 780 on the bands.  All of my
contacts that involved mode detection via RSID has been with stations
running DM 780.  The major modes this week was DominoEX, OLIVIA, and
QPSK65 - all on 39 meters.

I had little experience with the Feld Hell modes and their interaction
with RSID to really develop an opinion.  I would be interested the
experience of others with the Feld Hell suite.

SDR console support as in HRD 6.0 will drive my RFSpace SDR-IQ, display
and demodulate spectrum from it? Or in some other sense? 

Either way, Thanks Very Much, yet again, for HRD and its brethren.

This is not an official answer, but I will take a stab at it.
 
RSID  is an Olivia transmission at the beginning of each digital
transmission that contains the operating parameters used by the
originating station.
 
RSID stands for Reed-Soloman ID.  
 
Wiki Here:
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%E2%80%93Solomon_error_correction
 
RSID can be coded into the digital sound card software at the author's
discretion.  
 
The modes it is most useful on are model like Olivia, MT-63, Contestia,
or modes that have multiple combinations of number of tones, bandwidth,
interleave, etc.  
 
Modes that offer many configuration options but sound relatively alike
are easier to master using RSID on both ends.  
 
After becoming accustomed to the varying sounds, it becomes less of a
concern, to the point that you can recognize them by ear, or proficient
enough to decode on the fly.
 
Currently, MultiPSK, HRD and (I believe) FL-Digi have it as an option.
I am unsure of the FL-Digi implementation.
 
The software determines if it is toggled off after first IDing a
transmission or stays in constantly, once selected.  
 
Both originating and receiving station must have it enabled.
 
It is enabled according to the Author's instructions, which is dependent
on how it is implemented in each software package.
 
This reply is based on limited usage of RSID when it first became
available on MultiPSK a few years back.  
 
I never used it enough to really become proficient, but this is my basic
understanding of how it works.
 
YMMV,

OK, thanks for the clarification.

In sum, this is the basic information we all appear to need:

1) What is RS ID? We are each responsible for everything that is
transmitted by our stations, so we should understand what this is.

2) On what modes is RS ID required/recommended/preferred?

3) Which software supports RS ID?

4) How do we enable RS ID in each capable software package?

It is not Olivia or MFSK16 guys.

It's just MFSK modulation based on Reed Solomon coding.

 From Patrick's documentation:

Each mode corresponds to a message which is transformed in a particular 
Reed-Solomon sequence. Each sequence is composed of 15 symbols (of 4 
bits), each symbol being transmitted in a MFSK modulation. There are 16 
possibilities of frequencies separated by 11025/1024=10.766 Hz, each 
symbol transmission being done on only one frequency for a duration 
equal to 1024/11025*1000=92.88 ms. So, the 15 symbols are transmitted in 
15*1024/11025=1,393 s.

I think we're seeing first hand why a well researched, vetted 
description will be so useful!

One suggestion for the final web repository and any papers that may be 
written... PLEASE PUT A DATE ON IT. I don't know how many times I've 
searched for information, APRS comes to mind most recently, and you 
find something where you have no clue when it was written or 
published. Comments such as This is the latest version of XYZ and 
supercedes all others are totally worthless as well. Few things are 
never revised.
