FM IMPROVEMENTS

[flaryx32]

Describe your FEATURE REQUEST.

https://github.com/pr3y/Bruce/wiki/FM

In reference to the above coming soon stuff, I was waiting primarily for the following functions:

1. TX POWER: It seems that the Si4713 module has a range of 88 - 115 dBµV for transmission power maybe for easier access use high medium and low power so you dont have to input nor verify if the inputted value is in the allowed range or idk...

   • Real-time TX Diagnostics: Include a monitoring display showing real-time transmission power, signal strength, and RDS text preview.

2. RDS/RBDS Customization Support: RDS (Radio Data System) and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) allow FM transmitters to send additional information alongside the audio signal. This feature enables the transmission of data such as station names, song titles, artist names, and other text information that can be displayed on RDS/RBDS-capable FM receivers.

   • Requested Feature: The idea was to enable customization of the displayed radio name (currently defaulted to "brucerad") and allow for custom text to appear (if enabled) at set intervals, temporarily overriding the station name. Another useful function would be to send custom text on the fly while actively transmitting. (This is how I think RDS/RBDS could work, but I’m not completely sure.)

3. Support for RDA5820N: This seems to be an FM transceiver I found while browsing (it also seems to be one of the few transceiver modules available online, though I could be wrong). Adding support for it would expand the versatility of Bruce, especially since it supports both transmitting and receiving FM signals.

Some project that uses RDA5820N (this might help but i am not sure)
