Thread: For Guino: USB Radio FM with RDS from Silabs

Griff1 just ordered one from http://azzurri.stage.i-ntarsia.com/s...fmradio-rd.htm , I guess I will have to wait to see if it turns up.

Still need to know what external aerial connector it uses.

Rx2nr I read that thread and most people report good reception, I think I'm going to try it as I miss the radio.

I am an experienced programmer in C++ and VB6 and .Net, so if this radio is viable from a quality perspective I will help develop the code required to get it working with the frontends e.g. Centrafuse

I'm happy to read this, I'm waiting for this kind of radio (with RDS) to add it to my skin set for my carputer...

Also, it seems to be a VERY difficult item to source, though at this point, so is the HQCT.

Who reported good reception, in a moving car?
