PIRA32 RDS Encoder / Re: Firmware update fail. Help
« Last post by smattingly on May 28, 2025, 04:38:56 am »
Hi,

I am having the same issue.  I'm attempting to upgrade firmware on 2 units today.

My serial cable will control the unit via Magic RDS3 no problem.  But if I try and run the firmware update, I see this...
"Update failed at 300 bytes - connection lost. Try again."

I have tried the suggestion of powering it up at different times during the update process, no luck.

See my attached screenshot.

Is there a prior firmware I can try?  Such as a version 1.5?

P275 FM Analyzer / Cable & antenna.

Hello, If I'm using an outdoor antenna at a distance of 15 or 18 meters, which cable do you suggest I use?

And what type of antenna or features should it have?

Thank you.

PIRA75 FM Analyzer / Re: Firmware upgrade error

The problem is not caused by the device itself. Maybe ten years ago we had similar issue with some low cost Chinese USB to serial adapter.

PIRA75 FM Analyzer / Firmware upgrade error
« Last post by niwreg on May 02, 2025, 08:38:34 am »
Hi,

I tried to upgrade an i think p75 (comport version) to the latest version, however i get an error: update failed at 9800 bytes - CRC error try again, tried it again and then it goes in 13400 bytes

i tried a few times with switching the unit off, start the upgrade application and let it run etc. but it seems not to work, it also doesnt seem to boot, display stays blank.

Any help? Maybe some older firmware versions i can try?

edit: tried a few more times, display is now displaying a bit of garabe but readable string here and there. and update failed at 38000 bytes


Fixed it by running the updater a lot of times and eventually it came through 100%

You can send the song artist and title directly. I think you're almost done. On the other hand it is important to note that there are some given formats for sending data. If the broadcast automation software lacks quick presets for the most common RDS encoders, you can find correct format in the P164 manual or in this forum or at this link: https://pira.cz/rds/show.asp?art=linking_with_broadcast_automation_system

In short, the RT= prefix is incorrect. Use RT1= or TEXT= (they are equivalent). The software must provide single line of text, followed by CR:

TEXT=Artist - Title<CR>

As a next step, contact the RCS for correct setup for the X-Command, so you can send the RT+ as well.

P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / NexGen export to P164 via TCP direct (no magic4 software)
« Last post by mikehagans on April 29, 2025, 06:59:13 am »
I saw several posts implying that the P164 can work with NexGen for title and artist export, but no details.  I have a nexgen aserv on the same network as my P164.  Nexgen is set to export standard format to TCP, pointed at the IP address and port that the P164 is set up on as a TCP server.  In NexGen, my lead text on line1 is RT= with output field of Artist.  line 2's lead text is a dash and a single space, with output filed of Title.  The Field separator is set to other and I entered a space in the little box for the separator.  And record separator is CR/LF.  The bright white TCP light is lit up on my P164, but no joy as far as getting title and artist... So far I haven't found how to monitor what the P164 is receiving via TCP, and I've found no other forum posts (searching 'nexgen') that indicate a working export setup.  I could sure use any pointers or troubleshooting ideas.  I'll only be here for a couple of days and need to make this work... I do not want to add a PC to the mix for middleware.   Mike

Following bugs exist in the P132/P332 (other models are ok):
  • All firmware versions: UDP communication mode supports 90 bytes of data at maximum per packet
  • Firmware version 2.2i and 2.2j: Ethernet setup does not work using the embedded website
Before we release a fix, I would recommend to use TCP mode which is safe.
