The CGRAN RDS code seems abandoned, I'm thinking about cloning it to github so it can be converted to UHD and Cmake and fixed up. On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 1:31 PM, wrote: > I don't know about having it inside the main codebase, but converting it to > use the CMake build system would be good, sinc

I don't know about having it inside the main codebase, but converting it to use the CMake build system would be good, since it didn't really understand how to place its python files into a filesystem that uses /usr/local/lib64--so I had to move them manually. -Marcus On Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:

It would be great to have the rds code inside the gnuradio tree instead of in a separate cgran project! ; ) I don't know why, but when I tried the cgran rds code, the grc example worked much better then the python one. Best regards, Rafael Diniz > > > Actually, I'm using the blks2 WBFM block, wh

Actually, I'm using the blks2 WBFM block, which I believe is a PLL demodulator. Both of my "test" stations are actually roughly 100km away from me, broadcasting from a high point in the Ottawa Valley. One station comes in about 10dB stronger than the other, although both have an ERP of abou

I think the problems with SNR is with the FM Demod, my car stereo can get RDS as the station fades 40 miles away, but with my USRP has trouble picking up the stereo pilot from a 50kw station one mile away ( -10dBm ). FM demod is hard for software ( I think GNUradio just uses a zero-crossing detecto

I managed to get gr-rds built tonight, and was able to test it planted inside my FM receiver. Even for a local station, there are *lots* of errors, and more distant stations get even more. I'm going to play around a bit with filter bandwidths, etc, to see if I can improve it. Looking at the mod
