Nice! What AF’s do these outlets show (RDS Screen).
These outlets likely from Mont Do.
Have heard NCL outlets from Noumea, Mt. Koghis & Mt Do tonight.
NCL outlets heard tonight: 89.0, 90.0, 92.5, 93.0, 95.0, 97.4, 100.0 & 100.4MHz

Been a lovely evening for DX aficionados.
Been handy doing service checks on most of the Hit/Triple M services in my area.
was hearing Wide Bay, Dalby, Warrick, Kingaroy, Gold Coast from my front yard in Toowoomba
88.5 ABC Classic GC - has an RDS AF (Method B) pointing to Brisbane’s Triple J on 107.7MHz.
Good Grief Charlie Brown
Maybe ‘Life’s better with triple j’

New entry, the test broadcast on 87.8 in Sydney has RDS:
AC878FM and believe it’s related to 2AC https://2ac.com.au/
I think PI code is: 2878
More details sometime later.
94.3 Goulburn has added RT but misspelt the city name as “Goulbourn” RT saying “Sky Sports Radio Goulbourn”
I couldn’t tune to NEW FM near home at Belmont North this morning due to the PI Code conflict with Smooth 95.3 that I’ve told the SRN Ops manager about but they’ve ignored, only way I could tune into NEW FM this morning was manual tune then hope it didn’t change to 95.3
There might be a better chance of getting Nova to change the PI code on 95.3?
No chance of that, been down that road, remember Nova changed all their PI codes to benefit from this exact thing when it was brought to their attention by some of us here of what can happen.
89.3 2GLF back on air with RDS.
PI code 2894. No RT & no PTY
Group Codes 0A & 2A
Stereo pilot carrier is very low at -29dB & RDS level has been set a little low.
Is this a standby transmitter? Last noted active on August 14th.
I wonder if the MS crew could try to help out by contacting NEW FM?
Maybe, though Gordo gave me the direct email address for the secondary SRN network operations manager, so I sent him the full details of what happens & why & a link to the video I shot of it changing stations that I posted here & still nothing.
Things are slow to happen at SRN. RDS has been a low priority for them, most of their regional FM stations still don’t have it,
2HDs RDS at Belmont North has been missing since last Christmas, Port Stephens returned briefly not long ago but has gone missing again.
RDS from 2GLF gone since around 5pm.
This is the pattern experienced by @TVCL exactly 3 weeks ago on a Wednesday arvo IIRC.
Stereo pilot carrier back to normal.
Yes, I think it was mentioned somewhere that RDS is only on the standby TX (oddly).
Maybe it’s like some recovery mode testing that Channel 10 does every 2nd Wednesday!
A quick trip up Tasmania’s East Coast to install RDS for Star FM.
Now Ultra106Five and Tyga FM are the only community radio stations in Tassie without RDS. Ultra is in the works.
Well done Josh!
Is it just the one RDS encoder that is used that feeds the MPX signal with RDS to the other two transmitters?
Also any hints to their PI Code?
That’s right. The one encoder feeds 93.7 St Helens (Flagstaff Hill), 100.3 St Marys (South Sister) and 98.5 Bicheno.
PI code is 7937. No PTY Code (by intention). Radio Text is Artist - Title, CT is active and accurate.
