RDS and Airomate

Recommended Posts

WOW. I have seriously been researching how to have viewers (of my christmas display) know what song and artist is currently playing.

How do I find more information on the LOR "shell command?" Can anyone point me in the right direction? Where else can I find more information on doing RDS with a home-built FM transmitter?

Thank you!

Stan

I think the RDS has to be injected at the proper point in the transmitter ... so I don't think it will work the way you are doing it. I think it's no different than using a dedicated external RDS encoder ... but the injection point is critical ... someone who's done the RDS mod could elaborate on this better ...

Personally, I think airomate is very cool ... but its not the easiest or cheapest way to do RDS, IMHO ... correct me if I'm wrong folks ... esp. when you factor in the cost of 192 kHz sample-rate capable soundcard ... most folks use this unit:

Which is 30 Euros or around $41 USD ....

I think the DIYC group had a group buy on these earlier this year ...
