BELAR RDS-1 RDS/RBDS MONITOR

The RDS-1 is a fully-featured RDS/RBDS monitor and decoder that incorporates both the RBDS standard in the U.S. and the RDS standard in Europe and other countries. The RDS-1 is essential to monitor critical RDS parameters, such as RDS injection and the phase relationship between the RDS subcarrier and the stereo pilot. The RDS-1 decodes all the major group types and provides the data in fully decoded and hexidecimal formats. An RS-232 interface and a Wizard interface are built in to the RDS-1, for easy remote communication and full-screen displays.PARAMETERS MEASUREDTotal ModulationRDS InjectionRDS Phase ErrorPilot InjectionBlock Error RateBasic RDS Data, including PI, PS, PTY, TP, TA, M/S, DI, AF, ECC, PIN, Radio Text A&B, Location (State, City, Grid), Time, Date, and Group Types being transmitted.Transparent Data Channels (0-31)In-House Data Channels (0-31)Paging Information, including MMBS Detection, Network Group, Paging Interval, and Radio Paging Data (Group Code, BCD pager ID, type of page, and text of page).Group Data (Hexidecimal and ASCII for all groups).
