Abstract
A method is provided that contemplates including filtered decode values in an RDS/RBDS output signal. The filtered decode values are generated from reliable values. The reliable values are generated from corresponding received values from each of at least two groups of RDS/RBDS data in an RDS/RBDS input signal. The method also comprises preventing an error correction code (ECC) unit from modifying the filtered decode values in the RDS/RBDS output signal.
