The ABC RDS rollout is gathering pace!
Wollongong
Can’t get 97.3 clean enough to tell if they have it yet.
None yet for Newcastle, Gosford or Taree.

I keep regularly checking all the ABC FMs around here hoping to see some changes, none just yet.
Still, you ABC/BA techs are doing God’s work. Keep it up

Noice!
I am getting half decent reception of Batemans Bay 101.9, 103.5 (and to a lesser extent 105.1) and no RDS there yet. 100.5 here blocked by 2RPH.
Seems like NSW is just doing News at the moment?

Tis the season for RDS changes it seems.
Hit Canberra have changed both PS (was Hit104.7) and PI (was 123D) Will try and check Mix (reception is marginal and fleeting!).
Edit: 106.3 Canberra unchanged (MIX106.3 / 171B).
No RDS on 97.3 yet. I wonder if Middle Brother has RDS, better wait until the next Tropo opening.

Nothing in terms of new RDS from Middle Brother here on 95.5, 97.1 or 98.7… 94.7 is weak and 96.3 blocked by Gosford.

What is it with Hit Canberra changing their RDS PI Code so often?
Thanks for the updates everyone.

3LO on 96.1 has had RDS for quite some time now, haven’t got a PI code but short name appears as ABC 96.1.
Don’t normally get into an area which can decode the RDS properly but the text is just a fixed message
WA this morning, ABC NEWS RDS on -
92.1 Southern Agricultural
99.7 Central Agricultural
Both with AF 96.3, Wagin. Wagin strong into Bunbury this morning but no RDS decode on 96.3 today.

Did the Mt Gambier outlet have RT?
Not sure if the RT for Portland is a news item or on the way of saying something like; ‘Space Reserved’ ??

Thanks for all the hard work - much appreciated.
Did the PI Code of the above station get updated?
UPDATE: It did of course, is now 226C.

Great work! Thank you.
A question re ABC News in Wollongong and Canberra having different PI codes….
Is this due to different opt outs for AFL games or something else?
