You can probably find one with it in stock through there. Quite informativ.

Or the same unabbreviated: radiotext, programmeservicename, programmeidentification, alternativefrequencies? No. Maybe some shortened one: radiotext, servicename, identification, type. I'm unsure about timedate (CT, clock time and date) and altfrequencies (AF). And how to present the TP/TA traffic-stuff, the altfreqs, timedate and type? $ cat /proc/rds/radio0/tpta 10 <-- maybe binary, too? $ cat /proc/rds/radio0/type 08 Science And how to switch form RDS to RBDS (08 Soft Rock :)? I'm unaware, whether I will find the hidden altfreq feature on my card - the original hardwaredesigner forgot it... [: , but we could give one per line: $ cat /proc/rds/radio0/altfreq 88.8 100.05 $ cat /proc/rds/radio0/timedate Fri, 18 Aug 2000 15:22:35 GMT <-- this is currently unsupported by some programmers [: Ciao, Robert
