How does servers.fmdx.org show LOGOS & Pictures on FM Receiver???

Post by teckniqs » Sun Jun 08, 2025 11:25 pm

Right so I've been really wondering this for a while now so I need to find this out....

On the SDR site many of us here use I have noticed on some of the tuners (not all of them) logos and pictures coming up for some stations and I'd really love to know how the hell it's done?? :whistle

I noticed on Reading tuner that 107.3 Albumheads the little Rock pirate was showing Karizma 87.8's logo but 87.8 is really weak on there nowhere near strong enough to get RDS. And have seen some other London pirate logos come through like Wk-End's but it doesn't always show.

How is this done please..... :?:

We use the rds id and the logos are maintained, some are hosted on the individual servers, others are used/delivered from the main server I believe

OK, I remember....

A couple of years ago this company contacted me - but on my Radio Brian's email.

They wanted money, I forget how much, and the Station Logo and they would make sure it got into some radios in Cars :whistle
