Good job Vojtech! I don't have a Windows CE machine but I have the i386 version of PocketDigi on my Win2K system and it works very nicely. The RS ID feature, by being incorporated in other software besides MultiPSK, may be one of the best things 2008 will bring. 73 Sholto KE7HPV.

Understood; RS ID "tells" the other station the mode and frequency. I think you are correct in that analysis of a signal is difficult.
