I'm having trouble demodulating the RDS signal that comes along
with a lot of broadcast FM signals these days. I know that there's
"gr-rds" that has already done this, but I wanted to do my own just for
personal education. 

I spent a lot of time yesterday playing with it,
and I can't get anything but garbage bits out of the DBPSK demodulator
in Gnu Radio. I can't find a freely-available version of the RDS
standard, so I've been cribbing from the nearly-impenetrable gr-rds
implementation. 

What I've done is to carve off a few kHz around 57kHz
out of the FM demodulator, downconvert to zero Hz, and then resample to
exactly 19.0kHz/8, and feed that into a "Digital" DBPSK block, with
symbols-per-sample=4. I get nothing but rubbish out the back side of
this, even for a strong local signal. 

Is there something I'm missing
in the way the signal gets modulated?
