Optional UDP traffic with additional raw (filtered) RDS data

[andimik]

I propose to add an option in the UDP section to include raw (or filtered) RDS in udp packets.

Example:

from=TEF_tuner 1;raw=5264 0529 3C3E 5244

Why option and not change existing? Because Stationlist won't work when the traffic is too much (and does not understand this command at all).

The use case is connecting multiple TEFs to one PC via WiFi and recording all what they are receiving/scanning. This prevents the usage of multiple xdr-gtk sessions.

On client side you can split it to the various TEF by simple Linux commands.

I even didn't know stationlist could decode RDS blocks. Is this additional to current rds data or as replacement?

[andimik]

Well it's an idea, not a real requirement. Let's discuss if others need it as well.

No, Stationlist cannot decode RDS blocks. The idea is to combine RDS from various sources.

[PE5PVB]

I don't understand. Can you give me some examples about your idea?

[andimik]

The idea is that we get the raw RDS on multicast, rather than TCP (which requires additional *F in order to start).

But maybe I'll be the only one asking for such a feature ...
