Bug Reports / ON AIR
« Last post by radioroccella on August 18, 2026, 05:54:06 pm »
 :(As of today, the source that's supposed to read what's being broadcast no longer works.
After a few minutes, if I try to press "TEST," it always says "magicrds."

Hi Jan,

Works like expected!
The solution in near future will help a lot!
Thank you for your help :)

Well, if you download current build (2026-08-17), you can do following:

  • Completely remove the workaround proposed in past. Also remove the reference to the link from the Output Template.
       
  • Type following line in the Text replacing:

    Change
    %REGEXP%(?i)www.*programs

    To
    %GOTONEXT%

Explanation:
In current build, the %GOTONEXT% and %CLEAR% commands still work as you are used to. This means that even in the case of an XML/JSON source, these commands will be reflected in the resulting text. Moreover, these command now work also if matching occurs on elements which are not included in the Output Template (so they are hidden to the listener). In near future the Text replacing will include a third 'Filter' column for optinal specification of Output/Source/Element the line will apply to, so that the behaviour can be changed by the user. If you have further questions, just let me know.

Yes, now, in the case of XML or JSON sources, each element is processed separately, as this better reflects the logic of working with these text sources. Therefore, text replacement is no longer applied to the resulting text composed of elements according to the template.

The proposed workaround will no longer work. We will find a better solution for your specific needs.
25
  • Using the Output template, encapsulate the 'link' element into any unique substring.
    For example, if %1% is title and %2% is link:
    %1%<<%2%>>
  • Use the Text Replacing to test if the substring contains the keyword
    Change %REGEXP%<<.*programs.*>> to %GOTONEXT%
  • Remove the substring from final text
    Change %REGEXP%<<.*>> to (nothing)

Alternatively you may apply JavaScript to the same Output template, if further filtering or conditions are required.

Hi!
This is not working anymore on new versions!
How can I do this now?

Thanks

RDS Spy / Re: Request for lager font of PI code in RDSSpy
« Last post by SWL Tobias on August 14, 2026, 01:34:01 pm »
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

RDS Spy / Re: Request to change non-decoded PS Characters from '-' to '▪'
« Last post by SWL Tobias on August 14, 2026, 12:57:14 pm »
Sorry, posted before making my point...

Thanks for the great freeware RDSspy, a really superb tool for FM DX!

Since '-' is used in regular PS names, I'd suggest to change the non-decoded charcter to something not usually appearing in PS tags, e.g. the small centered 'dot', as entered via Alt+0183 (NumPad) in Windows. This allows clear distinguishing received from non-received characters.

Thank you!

Best regsrds

Bug Reports / Re: CR / 0x0D termination in Readbest
« Last post by Jan on August 05, 2026, 11:13:27 am »
The settings related to UECP only take effect when UECP is the preferred communication protocol. You have all these settings in one place.
Unlike our hardware products, the READBEST is a UECP-based RDS encoder. Without enabling the UECP ('Encapsulate all Outgoing Data to UECP') some functions may not be available.
Any changes to the text settings will only take effect after sending a new message.

For loading data to external UECP encoder, you should use the Generic UECP model rather than the DEMO Encoder.

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

Hello,

I have tried the latest version now. I see the new additional toggles, but they don't seem to do anything in Readbest.
With them enabled, the RT still gets padded up to 64 chars with spaces.
Am I forgetting something?
