P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / P164 - EAS/EASTIME Protocol
« Last post by mendotatech on November 14, 2025, 09:01:18 am »
Hi All,
So far, been having good results with the P164 with MagicRDS 4 as I'm tying Song Titles with Hourly Station Announcements and a Program Guide (Long Story, Neither here nor there.) . I have a SAGE EAS ENDEC 3644 and it appears to have a "Peripherals" section where I can select between a few devices. One of them happens to be a competing RDS encoder and only seems to ask for a URL to send data to.

In comparing what the P164 (Page 49, Manual) and the competitor protocol standard is, it appears similar. EAS/EASTIME.

Since I'm using MagicRDS 4, do I need to set it up to receive the commands from the SAGE Endec? If so, how would I go about doing that? I don't seem to find anything in the documentation except for possibly directly connecting with the P164. Again, I haven't the slightest clue.

Thanks in Advance.

It was a faulty sound card, even if everything appeared to be functional.
Card replaced, problem solved.

Free Topic / RN Forum Down

So the RN forum is down and has been for a few days. No update messages on their Twitter or Youtube channel.

There's only some small mentions on HFU and RB forum, but no officially updates from the administration anywhere as of now.

@Slope Game Hi Kevin! I’m not sure about the exact release date for the P175s, but it’s definitely an in-demand option for monitoring stations. You can check it out here. Good luck with your search!

Configuration Options and Possibilities / Re: Can’t get RT+ working with Deva DB6400 (via TCP User Defined 1)

Thanks for the information. I sent an email to Deva support, and their response was: "The DB6400 does not support UECP and RT+."

There is no problem with the license. Some equipment does not support RT+ in any way. You need a full-featured RDS encoder.

The RT+ is a standard RDS service like PS or RT. The RT+ is practically essential for taking full advantage of the display capabilities of today's receivers. A component without RT+ support should not be referred to as an RDS encoder, but rather as an RDS generator.

We currently have a standard key. Do we need a full license to use this, and can we upgrade?

I don't see the RT+ in the DB6400's list of available functions.

Please visit our website https://pira.cz/rds/ for current offer of full-featured RDS encoders. They can be attached to the DB6400 as well.

Configuration Options and Possibilities / Can’t get RT+ working with Deva DB6400 (via TCP User Defined 1)
« Last post by Marc1963 on October 21, 2025, 02:12:13 pm »
I’m trying to send RT+ data to my Deva DB6400.
Using User Defined 1 with TCP, I can successfully send regular RadioText to the RDS.

My current settings:

TCP client: 192.168.105.178
Port: 2233
TCP keep-alive: disabled
Options: bidirectional

However, I can’t get RT+ to work on the Deva.
I’m using FM Scope together with RDS Spy to monitor what’s going on, but RT+ simply doesn’t appear.

Has anyone successfully managed to send RT+ to a DB6400 through Magic RDS 4?
Any advice or working configuration examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
