Hi Jan,
In response to your recent query about our experience with BW Broadcast transmitters & MagicRDS4....
As you may know, BWB has currently stopped trading due to tragic circumstances & their website has just been pulled down.
We have been using a BWB DSPXmini Encore Audio Processor for the last 2 years with no RDS update issues. It generates an MPX signal that is then transmitted via STL to our FM transmitter sites. (The firmware is DSPXminiFM.0.330 2019-03-19, which as far as I know is the latest).
Recently, we have introduce AoIP direct to our FM transmission sites, which means we need to send the RDS commands direct to the FM transmitters.
We are currently having problems with the BWB TX1000V3 & RDS. It initially accepts RDS radiotext updates, but stops updates after some time. (The firmware is V3.0 2019-10-14, which as far as I know is the latest).
The transmitter continues to allow IP access & control via its web interface & can still be pinged & monitored via SNMP.
It's just RDS comms over IP that seems to stop. The radiotext is not updated for a period. Then after what must be a transmitter timeout period, the RT text configured in the transmitter is displayed.
In MagicRDS4, I'm currently using the Readbest device model, TCP Client & Port 1000. Bidirectional unticked.
The TX1000V3 RDS setup is Ethernet1 On, UDP Off, Port 1000, Ethernet2 Off, UDP Off, Port 1000, RS232 Off, Baud 19200.
I haven't needed to restart the Transmitter to re-establish RDS updates.
I just log into the Transmitter web interface & then switch 'RDS Ethernet1' Off & then back On.
After that, it then works for a period, but then stops again.
cheers, Rod
