Hello to the group.
I see the thread took a left turn a day or so ago so thought I would fire
up a new one for the interested in the phillips saa6579 RDS chip.
Several others have purchased this chip. Jameco electronics had them for 10
or 20 cents. I picked up 10. You had order that many as I recal

As mentioned in the other thread.
Simple to hook up.
Cheap
Requires 1000uv or more so that ends up making things more complicated.
S/N is important, not so absolute amplitude.
But in my case simply did not really work at 57 or 60 Khz.
The chip looks for co

Its been a while since that thread and I have not done anything with the
chip. But to answer your questions.
Really good signal to noise. The modulator is 6" from the saa6579. Its a
home brew BPSK modulator and the transitions are programmable. But I am
following wwvbs 1sec per bit. So the ph
Hi Paul -
If you can spend time on that:
1. Look for the different modulation spectrum between BPSK and RDS. The
phase modulation angle is different, the bits are manchester encoded or
such to get a hole on the carrier frequency (For the ARI carrier), the
baseband is DBPSK.
2. Carefully adjus
