Ill have to try 92.1 at home tonight and see… I like it when broadcasters add nore value to their RDS. Makes it alot more professional in my opinion.

Spice FM has started in Perth on 104.9 based in the northern suburbs reception is non existent at my location some 50kms south. It is Indian music format. From what recordings I have been given it has a clean signal.

92.1 RTR FM currently have NO RDS data being sent

A new function of RDS-Expert has released, TMC linking.

Krock for example shows pi codes, 3105 3203 3266 and 5047. I haven’t seen this info be listed anywhere else before.

Looks like Triple M Brisbane isn’t running song info on its RDS anymore either, as Sydney hasn’t for ages (loves flogging competition info instead). I assume Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth aren’t either?

Melbourne still does, as well as weather info. All the regionals around VIC also do.

Noticed in the car driving home that 102.7 FM Toowoomba seems to have made some minor changes to its RDS

PS = “102.7FM” (space now omitted)
PTY = “Varied” (was Easy Listening)

Not sure if any other changes have been made as I’m fringe-level reception at best.

Nova Brisbanes RDS has disappeared on my Mazda car radio this morning. Looked like it was working on my Denon tuner last night. Wonder if they changed something that has hit my Mazda

It hasn’t been working for at least a week or more. Not the first time it’s done this - maybe a backup TX without RDS?

Mix 106.3 RDS - static “Just Great Music”. Noticed in the car there’s no RDS for the current song currently.

It’s happened again, as Mix’s RT is still the static “Just Great Music” per what I’ve seen in my van.

Nova Brisbane’s RDS is back

New RDS for Star 99.1, not sure how to add a new column on the spreadsheet to fill it in.

All other RDS info i’ve noted so far has been filled in.
