I was in Bright this weekend and also noticed it on the TEF. Added to the sheet with the details I had.

@ozbark Maybe you’ll be interested, I’m building a custom more detailed RDS decoder that’ll integrate with all my TEF servers. It’ll also log RDS captures (useful for the DX ones).

One thing I’ve already noticed, different stations have different traffic provider names:

- 101.3: HERE GOS
- 104.1 HERE SYD
- 106.9: HERE NEW
- 104.9: SUNA-SYD
- 107.7: SUNA-CCT
- 96.5: SUNA-WOO

Here’s also the monitor’s summary page:

Not sure if anyone’s mentioned it yet, but Coast FM’s PI has changed to 5000:

Very nice indeed.

I’ve been providing the traffic provider names for many years in the RDS List, but I couldn’t recall the 3 letter city names following, thank you.

It’s superb work your doing with your software - thank you so very much.

RDS worksheet updated for

Muswellbrook - new RDS log noted for 98.5 Triple J Wambo Mine yesterday. Will need to go back to get PTY and PI details. Also added PTY, RT and AF details for 101.9 2HVR Merriwa.

Parkes - 92.1 HPON at Condobolin updated with PTY, PI, RT and AF details.

Griffith - updated 90.3 HPON and 95.1 2MIA details and checked the others.

I noted last time I was out this way that 91.9 2PNN Orange had inactive RDS. It’s now back on.

Skid Row’s backup transmitter has its own RDS config with static “SKID ROW” for PS, PI of 0000 and “Radio Skid Row Stand BY” for RT:

Looks like Coast FM’s time still hasn’t been updated for DST either:

Checked my van, and Mix 106.3 still not displaying song info - maybe AmplifyCBR wants Canberrans to check on their phones.
