Could we have a cut-off timer that clears the RDS data and completes the database entry if the RDS is no longer clocking up 'hits'? I would suggest a default value of 30 seconds as a compromise so that a rapidly changing signal doesn't trigger too many separate lines.
The request is because the RDS data stays displayed until it is replaced by a different station with RDS. So you can have a signal present producing RDS for a very short while, but displaying an update time of over an hour after the Start time. See the extract of an RDS log below for 93.2MHz over the period 08:54 to 13:16. In particular the signal from TROPICAL has 11 hits starting at 09:56, but the update UTC at 10:38 appears to be triggered by the change of RDS to SER+. A similar situation occurs at 11:04 when Tropical displaces Dial but its only at 12:50 it updeas when SER+ returns. (Note - this is an exract of a single frequency from a continuous 4 hr 40 minute recording).
Thanks
