The encoder works alone - PC is required only for loading data to the encoder!!!
"On fly" loading is supported, loading takes less than 1 sec.
Connecting to PC via parallel port
Designed for mono transmitters
Easy assembling, high performance, low-cost
Supply voltage: 8 - 20 V, supply current: 12 mA
Output: 57 kHz RDS signal, 8 kHz bandwidth for 24 dB loss
These RDS functions are available with ERDS 1.0 control program:
PS (Program Service), PI (Program Identification), PTY (Program Type), TP (Traffic Program), TA (Traffic announcement), DI (Decoder Identification), M/S (Music/speech), RT
(Radiotext), AF (Alternative frequency) and CT (Clock-time and date).

ERDS 1.0 control program
Remarks:
The encoder is divided into two parts - digital part and modulator.
Both parts should be assembled together.
Assembling is easy, but you need two PIC microcontrollers with program inside.
There is only one way to obtain this PICs.
I can send them to your post address.
Sending complete unit built is also possible.
Contact me for more information.

RDS Encoder 1 - The Digital Part
Short description:
The digital part is "core" of the encoder. It provides clocks, power supply, parallel port interface and data processing. It generates impulses for the modulator. Data is stored in
EPROM memory.
IC1 generates clock signals 1187,5 Hz (basic RDS clock), 19 kHz and 57 kHz,
which are destined for the modulator.
IC2 drives whole encoder.

RDS Encoder 1 - The Modulator Part
Short description:
Impulses from digital part are filtered with RC filter.
Then this signal is amplified and brought to easy DSB modulator with T1.
The signal from this modulator contains 57 kHz modulated data and a remainder of non-modulated data, which is removed in the second amplifier.
On the output there is a clean 57 kHz signal.

Software for the RDS Encoder 1 (ERDS)
There are two programs for controlling the encoder.
The first provides input and processing of information from the keyboard,
the second provides loading of RDS data to the encoder by parallel port (lpt 1 or 2).
For usual using, you have to know only the first (ERDS).
Download:
RDS Program 1 (62 kB)
or
erds.rar (64 kB)
Files contain ERDS 1.0 EU and RDS Loader 2.0
ERDS 1.0 EU:
This program was created for easy control of the encoder with many functions and possibilities.
For loading data to the encoder you want free LPT1 port and RDS Loader program placed in the same folder.

The program provides this RDS functions: PI, DI, M/S, PTY, TP, TA, PS, CT, RT, AF.
The Program Service (PS) can be different for TA 0 and TA 1.
You can use up to 9 pages, every page can contain different information.
Every transmitted program can have for example own Radiotext and PTY, you don't need to rewrite them.
Simply switch to the corresponding page and load data to the encoder.
When CT is set to 1, the program will start RDS Loader every minute for transmit one 4A group.
This need PC to be always connected.
CT function isn't too precise in the encoder.
This means that during the CT is set to 1, RDS standard isn't fully observed.
RDS Loader 2.0:
This program reads information from a text file and sends it to the encoder via parallel port.
It works under MS-DOS and MS-Windows (not NT).
386 processor or better is recommended.
Launching the program from the prompt:
rdsload.exe file1
file1 is a text file (created for example in Notepad). It contents the following information (this is an example):
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx0
0
0000001101111000
RDS TEST
This is an example of radiotext
0010000011111110
01100
0
0
0
0
0001
2
00110101
01001110
These lines means:
1. First 15 characters are arbitrary.
RDS Encoder 1 http://members.lycos.nl/rdsencoder/rds1.html
8 of 9 6.1.2009 12:29
The 16th character controls transmitting of CT. 0 for no CT, 1 or 2 inserts one 4A group.
2. Number of the parallel port. 0 for LPT1.
3. Address of the parallel port, 16 bits. 0000001101111000 for LPT1 (0x378).
4. Program service (PS), max. 8 characters.
5. Radiotext (RT), max. 64 characters.
6. Program identification (PI), 16 bits.
7. Program type (PTY), 5 bits.
8. Music/Speech (M/S). 1 for music, 0 for speech.
9. Traffic program (TP). 1 or 0.
10. Traffic announcement (TA). 1 or 0.
11. Switch A/B for radiotext. 0 is recommended all the times.
12. Decoder identification (DI), 4 bits.
13. Number of alternative frequencies, max. 7. Alternative frequencies (AF), if exists, followed on next lines as 8-bits numbers of channel. Number of the channel=10f-875 where f is
frequency in MHz.
In our example there are two alternative frequencies: 92,8 and 95,3 MHz.
RDS Loader also generates file rdsload.out
I think this can be interesting for some people.
This file contains RDS groups including computed CRC codes.
This contents is the same as the transmitted data.
To see this file you don't need the RDS encoder connected.
Simply press ESC during the loading.
Order and prices
If you are interested in this RDS encoder, contact me.
I will tell you my post address and you can send me the money.
Then I will send you what you want.
If you want to build the encoder yourself, you need two programmed PIC microcontrollers.
The price is $25 for both and the schematics.
The price for complete unit built is $94 incl. post charge.
