But.... I am also surprised at how many do NOT use it. Today I set my rig to switch between 20 and 30 every 40 seconds. I had RS ID on but decoded no one in 4 hours. While there could have been people transmitting just when I changed frequency for 40 seconds, I would have expected someone to be picked up. I am now "cheating" by using two apps at the same time. Multipsk in Panoramic mode (so I can at least capture more BPSK reception reports) AND Fldigi in standard mode with RS ID on. BOTH reporting to PSKreporter
