Hi Marcus,
after your current discovery of the gory details, you might want to
consider calling the station on it. better yet send them a post card!
They might not even know there is a problem, if you can provide the
stations manager/engineer a picture of the problem. It's usually
enough to light a fire under their arse to correct the deficiency.
Many stations are looking for an edge in the market, properly tuned
equipment goes a long way to improving the experience and their bottom
line.
Even a 1st gen USRP is worlds more advanced then the diagnostic tools
available when most radios stations were in their construction stages.
Yup, that doesn't surprise me.
I just sent a quick note to them saying "WTF guys?".
I applaud your efforts to write a better decoder! of the little bit of
research I have done about RDS and HD radio here in the US. Both are
phase locked and cycle specific to the pilot oscillator.
I haven't looked into it that much yet. There *was* a gr-rds module
written a few years back, so maybe I'll find it and see if I can
integrate it.
If you are going to continue your efforts, I am going to ask that you
Please also write an encoder.
who knows maybe it will lead to better station equipment!
Hmmm. Maybe. I know that Gnu Radio + UHD + USRP has been used in
Europe for production DAB/DAB+ broadcasting in the past
year.
