Decoding RDS info from FM radio???

bgowland · 2005-04-11, 03:24 PM

The title says it all really. I've been playing with a FM Radio setup (just messing about in GraphEdit so far but thinking about coding it). It occured to me that it would be neat if I could pull the station name, genre etc. out of the RDS stream. Anyone know if RDS info is available from cards such as the PVR350/500 etc.?

Cheers,
Brian

To answer my own question after a bit of research - no! I found the data sheet and tech. spec. for the Philips tuner on the PVR500 and it became obvious that RDS decoding requires a separate bit of hardware. Oh well.
