RDS95

(eRT)(RDS2)

RDS95 is a light software RDS encoder for linux

RDS95 follows the IEC 62106 standard (available at the RDS Forum website)

Diffrences between IEC 62106 and EN 50067

The newer standard which is the IEC one, removes these features:

• MS
• PIN
• LIC
• DI (partially, only dynamic pty is left)
• EWS (now ODA)
• IH (now ODA)
• RP
• TDC (now ODA)

Unique features

RDS95 is the only (as far as i can tell) encoder to transmit the 9-bit AF codes

Commands

PS

Sets the Program Service: PS=* RDS *

PI

Sets the PI code: PI=FFFF

TP

Sets the TP flag: TP=1

TA

Sets the TA flag and triggers Traffic PS: TA=0 May be overridden by EON

CT

Toggles the transmission of CT groups: CT=1

AF

Sets the AF frequencies: AF=95,89.1 Clear the AF: AF=

TPS

Sets the Traffic PS: TPS=Traffic! (default not set) TPS is transmitted instead of PS when TA flag is on

RT1

Sets the first radio text: RT1=Currently Playing: Jessie Ware - Remember Where You Are or TEXT=Currently Playing: Jessie Ware - Remember Where You Are

RT2

Sets the second radio text: RT2=Radio Nova - Best Hits around!

PTY

Sets the programme type flag: PTY=11

PTY values are diffrent for RDS and RDBS, look for them online

ECC

Sets the extended country code: ECC=E2 Note that the ECC is depended on the first letter of the PI, for example PI:3 and ECC:E2 is poland, but PI:1 would be the czech republic

RTP

TODO: RTP

LPS

Sets the LPS: LPS=NovaFM❤️ Note that LPS does UTF-8, while PS, RT don't

ERT

Sets the ERT: ERT=Currently on air we're playing: Lady Gaga - Applause Note that ERT is a 128-character version of RT with UTF-8 support

AFO

Sets the AF frequencies for the ODA 9-bit version which enables AF for 64.1-88 MHz: AFO=69.8,95.0,225 (LowerFM,FM,LF not sure if this even works) Clear the AFO: AFO=

TEXT

Alias for RT1

PTYN

Sets the programme type name: PTYN=Football

DPTY

Formerly DI Sets the DPTY flag: DPTY=1

SLCD

The 1A group where ECC is sent can also be used to send broadcaster data: SLCD=FFF

ERTP

This only will work if ERT is no longer than 64 characters See RTP

LINK

Toggles the linkage bit in 1A groups, enable this if you have EON about a station and that station has EON about you: LINK=1

SITE

Sets up to 2 site addresses: SITE=44,95

G

Sends a custom group to the next group available: G=F100FFFFFFFF or G=00002000AAAAAAAA for RDS2

RT1EN

Enables RT 1: RT1EN=1

RT2EN

Enables RT 2: RT2EN=1

RTPER

RT Switching period, in minutes: RTPER=5

LEVEL

Sets the RDS output level: LEVEL=255

PTYNEN

Enables PTYN transmission: PTYEN=1

RTPRUN

Sets the RTP Running bit, to signal if the RTP data is accurate: RTPRUN=1

You can also toggle the state: RTPRUN=1,1

GRPSEQ

Sets the group sequence for stream0, available groups:

• 0: 4 PSs
• 1: ECC
• 2: RT
• A: PTYN
• E: EON
• X: UDG1
• Y: UDG2
• R: RT+
• P: eRT+
• S: ERT
• 3: ODA
• F: LPS
• T: Fast tuning info
• U: ODA AF

GRPSEQ=002222

RTTYPE

Sets the RT1/RT2 types of A/B:

• 0: Set to A
• 1: RT1 is A, RT2 is B
• 2: Default, just toggle A/B

PROGRAM

Switches the current program, so diffrent saves: PROGRAM=1

RDS2MOD

Sets the RDS2 operation mode:

• 0: Default, full tunnelling of stream 0
• 1: Independent tunelling, RDS2 runs a seperate group sequence

GRPSEQ2

The Group Sequence for the RDS2 independent tunnelling mode See GRPSEQ

DTTMOUT

Default text timeout, once runs out it sets the RT1 which is saved in memory: DTTMOUT=60 (1 hour)

ERTPRUN

See RTPRUN

INIT

Resets program to default settings, no arguments: INIT

VER

If you have output, then it shows the version of the encoder

RESET

Resets the internal state: RESET

EONxEN

Enables the EON of x: EON1EN=1

EONxPI

Sets the PI of EON x: EON1PI=30FE

EONxPS

Sets the PS of EON x: EON1PS=AFERA

EONxPTY

Sets the PTY of EON x: EON1PTY=11

EONxTA

Enables the TA of EON x: EON1TA=1

EONxTP

Sets the TP of EON x: EON1TP=1

EONxAF

Sets the AF of EON x: EON1AF=98.6,95.0

EONxDT

Sets the broadcaster data of EON x: EON1DT=F

UDG1

Sets the user defined group, max 8 groups: UDG1=6000FFFFFFFF

UDG2

See UDG1

2UDG1

Sets the UDG1 of RDS2, max 8 groups expects 4 blocks: 2UDG1=0000200020202020

2UDG2

See 2UDG1

RDSGEN

Sets the rds generator level:

• 0: No streams
• 1: Stream 0 only
• 2: Stream 0 and 1

RDSGEN=1
