    Hi,

    it's really easy with this RDS encoder. You can find basic info at
    http://pira.cz/rds/rdsdev32.htm , where Example 1 will show you everything
    what you may need. Of course, I can answer your questions, if you have
    any.

    In fact, you must do following:

    1) Open the COM port at user selectable speed 1200-9600
    2) Send ASCII commands in this form:

    Initialization (optional):
    DPS1EN=1
    RT1EN=1
    PS=MY RADIO

    Then send dynamic data:

    RT1=On air: Prodigy - Breathe ....
    DPS1= etc........

    All commands are described in http://pira.cz/rds/manual.pdf

    For basic text functions it's enough to implement only PS, RT1 and DPS1.
    No need to receive the response characters from the RDS encoder.

    Jan Kolar

    Hi,

    We make a playout and automation system that runs on Linux, and we're
    interested in integrating your RDS encoder with it; is there a way to do
    this? We're willing to make the software, but will need to know how. Any
    pointers you may have would be greatly appreciated.


    Best regards,
