The $161.27 Dynamic RDS Project
Contracteng and I found a dynamic RDS/RBDS encoder system that's now on the air in Portsmouth for less than $170.00. I think with a little playing, and some automation tweaking, (providing their system will spit-out the right syntax), dynamic title/artist information can get on-the-air as well. Contracteng doesn't know this, but I found another software package for this unit that makes the configuration and control a little easier. If all of this comes together, I think the whole project for this particular station getting dynamic RDS/title/artist could come in at less than $300. (It would've stayed at $170.00 but they need a long-run from the automation computer and the encoder... cat5 + a ethernet to rs-232 converter).
Stations with their automation computers and stereo encoders co-located could get away with the $170.00 figure. (Again, provided the automation system met certain parameters).
I wonder how much Audomat-Aztec, Burk, and the like would pay to keep the details of this project out of Radio World?

Correction the price was $173 and a few odd cents including shipping. Price depends on the dollar to Euro exchange rate at the time you order.
