Statistical information on all RDS data groups being utilized
is tabulated at the bottom of the RDS Info Web interface
screen.
The SiteStreamer™ calculates the percentage of RDS re-
sources devoted to each data group. Our example station is
using RDS to good advantage, yet only a few of the data
groups are actually needed.
In this example the station has no rebroadcast ‘translators,
so the
Alternative Frequencies List
is empty. The
Open Data
Applications
usage is part of the ‘song tagging’ utility of the
subject station.
