If all are ok you can see the gui software:

You can see all informations you need for starting to find your best dx in FM.

Functions are very basic for this moment, I ask Christophe to have more functions and possibilities.

When you launch the softare a log fil is create in my case rdslog_20100615_221006.rds

You download this file and play again in Rds surveyvor by the command :

java -jar rdssurveyor-0.6.jar -inbinfile rdslog_20100615_221006.rds

Download this file sample rds

The advantages of Rds Surveyvor over RDSS, RDS decoder and RDSDX software:

If you don’t know software watch an old article on these 3 software Comparison Software

• For me the best advantage of this software is that it is « open source ».

• The interface between the receiver and your computer is very simple to do.

• A big advantage is that it can run on any system (win, linux, mac …)

• No need to have serial port! You can use your software on your notebook, netbook … no need to have an old DOS laptop
• You can replay your reception with log file system. Ideal for meteor-scatter.
• You can decode multiple RDS feed if you have mutliple sound card !
  

Conclusion

I found the software very well done and above all very slight. I compare PI decoding with SB920 tuner, the software is quick faster to decode it. I prepared a list of feature request to make the software useful for every self-respecting dxer:)

Christophe is ready to listen and consider all your requests, buggies, greeting …
