** Personal 'First'

I have uploaded videos of many of today's catches to my YouTube page. RDS Spy continues to deliver the goods at brief/low signal levels.

Now, thanks to improved decoding in the FDM-SW2 software, the RDS now rivals RDS Spy, occasionally producing the PI and PS before RDS Spy! You can see this in the videos, link below.

Good DX!
