Title: Request for lager font of PI code in RDSSpy
Post by: GuidoS on September 18, 2025, 03:00:32 pm

Hello,

Since screen resolution of monitors is always rising, eyes are getting older etc I would like to suggest to enlarge the font of the PI code in RDSSpy.  It is often difficult to distinguish between 8 and B and may also a few other characters. I think this would be welcomed by a lot of users.

73,

Guido.

I agree. It would indeed be helpful for old geezers like us :-)

Additional comment: when I use 125 or even 150% zoom, the font is not sharp.

I fully agree, the important PI Code is displayed a bit small.

Therefore I have added a bigger separate display here, as attached.

Sorry, adding an attachment was not possible (?)

I also enjoy the signal history view (bottom curve) and a realtime AF list in the captoin of theBasic RDS decoder.

Finally, you may notice the SpectrumLab window, displaying the 'analog' view of the 57 kHz RDS traces. It gives an idea, before decoding is possible, whether there is an RDS signal and about its level above noise.
I wish some such signal indicator (not to replace the useful BER) would also be implemented into RDSspy directly.

Thanks and best regards
