Bug Reports / Re: CR / 0x0D termination in Readbest

« Last post by andrew01 on Today at 06:52:55 pm »Hi Jan, on the topic of 0x0D, will/can a switch be added between adding the CR character as the first one or last one for all connection modes (uecp, etc.) in the 2A group? Something like this

General Discussion about the RDS / Re: Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview + vpn
« Last post by Jan on June 26, 2026, 07:33:05 am »Registration is not tied to an IP address, but to the specific computer hardware and specific Windows installation. If these elements change, for example due to a system reinstallation, you can simply generate a new license key under your existing user ID. If these elements are changing on each start-up, for example due to virtualization, then unfortunately the Magic RDS 4 cannot be used on such a configuration. You would recognize this in advance by the fact that Magic RDS 4 shows you a different installation ID every time you start the system.
However, we have never encountered this problem before. Try to set up a stable environment for the program from the perspective of the above. If you have no other option, we can use simple diagnostics to determine where the problem is. It probably won't be appropriate to use a preview version of Windows.

Bug Reports / Re: CR / 0x0D termination in Readbest
« Last post by Jan on June 25, 2026, 03:32:54 pm »It does what it says - optionally inserts a CR after the last character of the text, so that the receiver can terminate it there.
A new version will be released soon, so I will add the option to control whether the rest is filled with spaces or sent truncated. Unfortunately, the standards are not specific enough in this regard and the CR termination was not included in first releases, so we preferred to use a safer method.

Bug Reports / Re: CR / 0x0D termination in Readbest
« Last post by Jan on June 25, 2026, 03:02:55 pm »Yes, that's correct. We use safe implementation and send the full 64 characters over UECP to completely overwrite the previous text. Some UECP-based encoders in past did not do this themselves. This does not affect the ability of the radio receiver to terminate the text after the CR character, nor the ability of the RDS encoder to start a new RT transmission cycle after the CR character is found in current segment.

Bug Reports / CR / 0x0D termination in Readbest
« Last post by chbroadcast on June 25, 2026, 02:54:36 pm »Hello,
I'm using Readbest with my custom UECP solution, and the CR termination does not work. Even though its enabled in the Readbest settings.
0x0D byte is also sent over UECP, but the Readbest encoder keeps sending blanks after the 0x0D char.
Sample RT UECP message for debugging, encoded in base64:
/gAAyyUKAQAhAVRpk3N0bzsgTWFiZWwgLSBHb2QgaXMgYSBkYW5jZXINx3P/
