RDS memory (stored the last display on a given channel until "flushed")
The last "problem" required a power reset (and loss of all
the 18 programmable FM channel memories) to clear.
In October 1999 a "solution" was obtained with an external Conrad
RDS Manager. That only required the audio output from my Realistic
TM-1001 (1979 vintage) FM tuner to be fed into it. So once again I had
the fine tuning, s-meter, and a dynamic RDS display.
There is a minor problem though. Being made in Europe its
PTY (Program Type) decoding display is different than what Jan 1998 US
(Jan 1993 RBDS) stations
use. That resulted in some very "curious" confusion at first!
Note: | The texts at the right of each column are recommended for use on eight character
receiver displays; "_" indicates a space |
The following is a table of RDS stations that I've detected here since 1999.
Some stations may have discontinued/modified their RDS use in the meanwhile.
Not all stations use each data block, with some only periodically giving the time.
The PTY numeric is given for the textual (RDS) one displayed, with mouse-over
or click-on defining it (EUROPEAN = US).
(Fading often didn't permit the more-verbose text/slogans to be noted!)
In rare cases the text block would be displaying the name of the commercial or
tune/artist being played so would be a highly-dynamic item.
PI codes obtained with RDS20 (DOS) software running on (1992) 386-SX-16 machine
starting September 9, 2001. PTY with a numeric >15 are that way as well since
they wont display on the stock Conrad unit.

an RDS-related item forwarded from DCRTV:
"Well some news from the 36th largest radio market in the USA (Hampton
Roads/Norfolk/Virginia Beach). The usage by radio stations of the RDS
feature that newer car radios have has just doubled from a whopping two
stations to four stations. Sinclair-owned '93.7 The Coast' WKOC and
'96X' WROX are the two new stations that are now utilizing this feature.
The other two are 'Z104' WNVZ and '106-9 The Fox' WAFX. 96X, Z104
& The Fox just display the station IDs (96X, Z104 & The Fox). 'The
Coast' is also displaying the artist of the track playing on-air...I
thought that was pretty cool. Is there any stations in DC/Baltimore that
display more than just the station ID? Robert F Corbin (December 19,
2000)"

It has come to my attention that there are some other Web Sites with some
considerably expanded lists of stations that have (at one time or another)
been noted using RDS.
North American RDS Log
So, rather than be duplicative, I would suggest that any future additional
RDS updates be sent there. From now on I'll only concern myself with adding
things on here that I have personally caught.
