KHPT RDS issue

R

rageradio

Anyone know what is going on with their RDS system? Glad they got it going again but ever since turning it back on a few month back its been awful. Very slow to update. KGLK was turned on a few weeks back and its doing the same thing. Also noticed KKBQ's is off now.
 
I can't remember which one it was before, but one of the two Eagles only read out "Houston's Eagle" with no song title or artist information and I think it was 106.9, rage. The RDS used to work when it was The Zone, and worked well. After it flipped to the simulcast, it read "Houston's 106 9 & 107 5 the Eagle" and nothing else, while 107.5 listed everything.
 
It seems everyone is having an RDS issue (perhaps due to the similar HD radio function). KUHF still lists its format as Classical for the last 2 years since that format was shifted to KUHA. Hopefully that will be fixed soon!
 
Nobody cares. RDS is a dinosaur. HD can do the function infinitely better.
 
Apparently not.. because that was what I was talking about. Forgive me for not specifying. The problem is on the HD side and as of now its been stuck (on both KGLK & KHPT) displaying Police "Wrapped Around Your Finger" since yesterday.

Nope - mine has been displaying normally. Try cycling the power by completely unhooking it for at least 30 seconds.

Apologies, I checked again and you are correct. Both 106.9 and 107.5 HD-1 are stuck on that song, and both HD-2's have blank text.
 
The hd2 don't have title and artist text for some reason. Cox is so cheap. All the others HDs have some kind of display and working properly on them except for Cox stations

Is that why the Austin American Statesman is so dull? :eek:
 
I had the opportunity to check KHPT RDS today on a non-HD radio. It was stuck on a single word: "cool" the entire evening.
 
It's back on as of Friday. I think I happened to be listening when it finally changed. No improvement. Still lags really bad, not refreshing until almost midway though the song
