Many producers of radios equip the majority of their products with RDS, increasingly even home radios.
In order to enable servicing RDS radios, it is essential for the repair shops to obtain an RDS generator. This device will enable them to provide the necessary facilities for checking and repairing such radios. The RDS Service Generator HG 81300-C is a function generator for checking the most important RDS/RBDS/MBS functions (EON, TP, TA, PTY, PS, AF, CT, RT, TDC, IH, RP) as well as other elementary functions of modern VHF receivers. It was developed in co-operation with one of the leading producers of car audio equipment and is excelled by being an exceptionally low priced alternative compared to other measuring devices.
The wide variety of available connections simplifies the adaption of the RDS generator HG 81300-C to specific testing assemblies. In addition, a PC interface combined with the appropriate PC software enables an easy generation of any RDS group types.
For the American market, there is a PC control software (MS DOS version) available that enables testing RBDS features. The coder is software compatible with the former version HG 81300-B.
