No worries I think their PI was last confirmed by @Radiohead in July 2024.
Probably hasn’t changed.
Thank very much for confirming this & being first contributor.
I think earlier their dynamic PS was last showing a longer (worse) version as:
4US_____
LOOKING
GOOD
FEELING
DEADLY
It likely is but didn’t stay tuned long enough to fully notice the horrid rotating PS, only locked on as it is on 100.7 same as Hit Toowoomba as I accidently hit the channel up button on my steering wheel
Bloody beautiful car for the price, very happy with it, even better that it has a 531-1611kHz AM capable radio, not quite as good on AM as a normal petrol car on AM but damn good to have it none the less
Still also yet to work out if it does Long PS or RDS2 as I have noted on Rebel Logan the PS goes weird so not sure if it doesn’t like the RDS2 carrier or the signal is simply not strong enough
Ford Focus Sync 3
Will NOT display 0000 codes
2AAA 107.1 Wagga Wagga - 9/6/2020 - observed 2AAA-FM RDS however I don’t know what PI code they were using then
1WAY 91.9 Canberra - 10/6/2020 - observed 1WAY FM RDS unknown PI code as above
2MNO 90.5 Cooma - 27/5/2021 - observed Monaro FM RDS unknown PI code as above
Toyota Camry Ascent Hybrid AXVA70R (2023)
Will display FFFF codes, not sure about 0000 codes.
Mazda MZD Connect system
Will NOT display 0000 codes
Will display FFFF codes
Thanks @TV.Cynic , @Radiohead & @gordo92 for feedback.
I’ve added the 4US last PI Check date of Dec 22nd to Worksheet 11
Thanks for this valuable info @TV.Cynic
Also from me, I know for a PI Code of 0000;
that my Bush DAB/FM tabletop radio Model BR3200DABC 2016 year will display RDS
& same with my 2024 Motorola Smartphone.
I will be able to test all ACT stations and some NSW stations on a Mitsubishi Pajero 2017 stock radio as I am driving to Sydney and Canberra in early January.
Have suspected this for a few weeks, but confirmed today with good in car reception on the north facing hills of Newcastle that 2RE 88.9 has lost its RDS. MAX 1073 still working however.
I’ll do you one 10MHz up the dial here too - 98.9 4AAA Brisbane seems to have been without RDS for the last week or so, maybe longer. Doesn’t sound like it’s having the overdeviation issues it was a few months back, but the RDS is gone.
On my last visit to Adelaide, 105.5 Triple J had RDS. However this time I didn’t get anything off it, not even a sausage. I thought me not receiving it during tropo was due to weak signal, but Classic FM definitely has it as shown previously from my DX logs and when checking during this visit.
My turn; Nova 106.9 Brisbane has changed their PI code back to 4069, ex 4106.
Is there a possibility that one standby RDS Encoder/Processor has a PI code of 4106, whilst the main (or other) RDS Encoder has a PI code programmed as 4069?
I honestly have no idea.
If anyone in the know has answers please drop us a line.
Nova Brisbane & Melbourne has been an absolute pain with their frequent changing of their PI codes, one has to wonder. Makes editing our RDS List arduous.
Thanks guys I’ve greyed out these entries in our RDS List.
If after 6 months that status quo remains, I’ll move these to Worksheet 16 for discontinued RDS transmissions. Hopefully these are just short term RDS encoder issues for the above radio stations & RDS resumes soon.
@ninkeon58
Any chance of confirming the PI code for Nova 91.9 & 99.1 Adelaide?
Also in Adelaide re Nova Adelaide, 100.5 Wow FM, 96.7 Mix & 107.9 Life; any chance of TEF snapshots of the extended RDS Info for these?
I’d be curious if any LPON’s in Adelaide have RDS too.
Seemingly yet another ‘Christian’ station that leans more towards a straight AC format. At least that gives little time for 5RAM to ram dogma down our throats.
So bit of an update on weather a 2024 BYD Seal will decode RDS 2/ Long PS
Well it is a bit of a weird one
I tuned to Breeze Wide Bay on the way back to Toowoomba and it decodes the Standard PS but then seems to try to load the Long PS in sections but appears to try to stay within the 8 Character limit of standard PS, hmmmm bit of a weird one, might have to suggest implementation of Long PS properly to BYD Support Team
Yes, suggest a firmware update to BWD. It is recognising RDS Grp 15A data, but trying to do something like dynamic PS with it, within a 8 character PS limit. I gather nothing relevant in settings?
Thanks for the feedback. Note to @AJ1
Noticed 4ZZZ is currently displaying both song and artist data, Have a feeling it might be short lived as they are also numbered, It Sounds/looks like they are running a Countdown today, interestingly it appears to also be in sync with 4zzz.org.au/hot100
But saw it as “#78 Elektronik Girl Epic - I Love Stealing from Woolies”
and it repeating “4ZZZ HOT 100 LIVE Outside Broadcast”, therefor guessing event based but it is following along in sync from what I can tell in the short listen
