Patrick,
The advantage of the MFSK analog picture mode is that it is already
widely implemented, and almost all implementors of MFSK have it. Your
RSID is now available in open source C++ pocketdigi so I suspect it will
be incorporated into more programs as well. Put the two together and
the mode will be widely available fairly soon.
