Description

redsea is a lightweight command-line decoder for broadcast FM-RDS data, such as that provided from a software-defined radio (SDR). It can also decode raw ASCII bitstreams, the hex format provided by RDS Spy, and audio files containing multiplex signals. Decoded RDS groups are printed to the terminal as line-delimited JSON objects; optionally, undecoded hex blocks can be output instead.

This program is intended to be used in combination with a separate source of demodulated FM multiplex signals, such as rtl-sdr.

Message after installing

Don't forget to give redsea something to decode!  For output from a USB 
software-defined radio stick, you may want to consider installing 
comms/rtl-sdr or another SDR tool of your choice that can feed raw I/Q 
data on stdout.  

You can also provide redsea with hex data from RDS Spy, raw ASCII 
bitstream, or an audio file containing a multiplexed FM signal.
