1. When I run Radiator, it’s able to scan channels/tune and finding them.
2. I am not able to receive RDS information in Radiator. Any one got this to work?

My problem is.
When setting CF 5.0 to use Radiator as my device, it’s ******* up…….
1. When I start the CF radio (RADIO), Radiator is displayed on top
2. When I scan (SCAN), it’s scanning, but not stopping at any stations. Also the scanning is WEARY slow.
3. Chancing frequency,(</> ore <</>>) works OK
4. Enter Tuning frequency at a known station, (TUNING) works OK
5. Changing presents, it’s changing CF precents (same line level as phone signal, phone battery level, net connection and date) but not Radiator presents….

Any one discovered the same problems when using Radiator? Is it a bug in the Radiator plug-in?

Otherwise I can report that Silabs USB FM radio works great, and have a good reception (Have not tested in my car yet)
With firmware I have RDS information. Fast tuning.
For Danish thread readers, I have purchased the device from c88.com at a price 350 dkr. including tax and delivery


Hope that some one will take Dave’s request up, and create a plug-in for this tuner while it’s ideal for a CarPc.
I could do it my self, but are not a programmer

using radiator has it's limitations... a Radio Module needs to be written for this radio...

it's a very simple interface... I will get to it as soon as I can, hopefully someone will beat me too it...
