Raspberry PI sending Band II FM stereo signal with RDS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XhudGdTAm8
I got the code from here

if you do "try this at home" (or anywhere else) - be well aware that although it is impressive the radio signal generated by this method (using some very clever maths and DSP that I hardly understand) is very rough and full of harmonics - it makes use of a "feature" of PWM signals that can often be a nuisance (like LED displays that are pretty but make unwanted noise on audio and radio equipment...)
Transmitting these can upset a lot of other important radio communications on other frequencies, including aviation and emergency services comms and even some mobile telephones. That can get you in trouble with your country's Communications Ministry!
In many nations (even where mini FM transmitters are permitted below a certain power) they also generally do not approve of RDS data being transmitted as well in case it confuses or distracts people driving motor vehicles.
In my country (UK) even licensed broadcasters must only transmit static channel IDs (unlike elsewhere in mainland Europe) - there is more leeway with regard to RT (radiotext) that does not automatically appear on most older receivers.
I used the very shortest length of wire that would give a reliable signal to receivers a few metres away and placed the RPi low down in an area where the signal would be blocked by various other metal items connected solidly to earth; and even then only ran this for a few minutes as a demo of how RDS works (otherwise I just use a legal mini FM TX without RDS)
Introducing Fox Emerson Greetings! I'm pretty excited to have become a member. Seems like a great place to hang out and share stories.
I'm a writer/author based in both London and Florence (yes, I live between two cities!) and I'm working on my third book about drug addiction and prostitution.
My first book titled Monique was a great success which is pretty awesome for a new author!
Say hello.
Cheers

RC Stim side effects and come-down questions Hi all,
The Mrs and I smashed our way through 2g of 3-FPM crystals (nasally) and 8 4F-MPH pills (swalled) this past weekend and I have some questions ;-)
1. Is there anything that we can take that would help us sleep after a party???
2. The come-down seems to be very protracted and I am still constantly clenching my jaw, any recommendations?
3. stim-dick ... extremely evident with these RC's, are there any others that are not as harsh on the libido?
Many thanks
G
