Steve, I read 97.119(b)(1) to apply only when using CW Morse to identify.
My GS system would not use Morse, it being too slow. Likely, the FCC would
want instructions on how to decode what the GS really sends, just like NSA
wants to decode Skype. In hams case, we would hand over that info gladly.
P.S. Part 97 only applies to the USA.
73, Charly, titular inventor of the GS identifying system, awaiting
technological development.
