Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] RDS demodulation

[Andrew Davis]

If I remember correctly, the original RDS feed the stereo pilot to the
DBPSK block as it had the correct symbol phase. From this
https://www.cgran.org/raw-attachment/wiki/RDS/rds.png it looks just
like band passing the pilot and dividing to the correct rate.
