    Is there anything in Config I have to "turn on" to activate RDS? Just testing it with stock phrases in RT and PS but it's not working yet…

    Are you using the "MPX Output"?

    Do you see RDS in an FFT display on the "MPX Output > Multiplex" patch point?

    Have you verified that your soundcard is actually outputting at 176kHz or 192kHz? Are you using the Kernel Streaming soundcard interface for MPX Output, and not DirectSound or Wave/MME?

    If you said yes to all of that… do you have (use of) an oscilloscope, to look at a test signal with it? See if this signal:

    I highly recommend reading this documentation from the previous era of Breakaway:
    FM calibration using Oscilloscope
    FM calibration using a Modulation Monitor

    Yes to all, except I have no oscillator.

    Also, I only use one channel for MPX (to connection to my transmitter).
    And I am using ASIO.

    I will assume the problem is on my side and keep tweaking.

    If you need a scope shipped from the USA, you can check this eBay search I usually send to friends who need one:

    In case anyone (else besides Jesse G.) is watching this thread…

    I receive RDS data via Spinitron, which means it's IP dependent.
    I have (eventually) discovered that our IP provider changed our IP address… right around the time I was testing this out end of August.

    So that has confounded my testing. My base system running RDS is working now, so now it's just a matter of testing out BaOne.

    Apologies for any confusion I may have caused.
