Abstract
A location or other description of the source of a transmission is inserted into the communication as a prefix to transmitter data. A multi-format receiver emits a sequence of different handshakes until the transmitter begins to respond. The receiver stores the prefix and a descriptor of the last handshake prior to the transmitter response. Subsequent signals with a stored prefix are greeted immediately with the stored associated handshake.
