The FM-BL is ideal for services that utilize cable TV as a means of reaching their listeners. This is a module which can be added to our commercial receivers, such as the SCA-TM or used with any FM tuner or receiver. The module decodes the RBDS data stream and utilizes an 80C52 microcomputer to convert the data into a format that can be used by any application. The microcomputer has 64K of memory. Assembly language subroutines written especially for RBDS may be called for fast operation.
Nonvolatile memory holds the program when power is removed.
Provision is made for tuning a frequency agile FM tuner to prespecified frequencies, alternate frequencies, or band-scans.
