CIS-12 & CIS Selcall FSK 150Bd/200 ("Vishnya")


Interesting and quite rare CIS-12 & CIS Selcall FSK 150Bd/200 - aka "Vishnya" - picked up by my friend AngazU using northern Europe KiwiSDRs in the 5 MHz band. Also thanks to friends cryptomaster and KarapuZ for pointing  out the name of the FSK signal and some interesting links: actually I met only single CIS "Vishnya" selcalls some months ago (November 2017) but I forgot it

CIS selcall is mentioned here in radioscanner:

It's notice that:
a) before the moment of transfer of CIS-12 signal, the equipment correctly stops transmission and also correctly restarts it after transferring the selcall;
b) since CIS-12 has a pilot tone at 3300Hz, the FSK insertions are centered on the suppressed carrier (zero offset from the nominal frequency);
c) after demodulation, CIS selcall exhibits a 45-bit period.

UTE listeners frequently refer to a waveform using the name of the source equipment: in this case the nickname "Vishnya" comes from R-016V "Вишня" equipment, or R-016V "Vishnya" using the latin alphabet, which stands for the English "Cherry"  (Fig. 4).

CIS Selcall "Vishnya", FSK 150Bd/200

I spotted this short transmission on 7823.5 KHz/USB at 0827z, it's an FSK modulation with 200Hz shift and speed of 150bps. I asked my friend KarapauZ about the name of this system and he told me that this signal is correlated with the CIS Selcall and it's also known with the nickname "Vishnya" ("Cherry" in English language) from the name of the radio equipment R-016V "Вишня".
The signal is discussed here in radioscanner:
