This is probably because I have updated to Ventura recently 🙁

EDIT: could you please be more specific about it problem with older MacOS? Is it possible to install it but it does not run or it is even impossible to install the application?

The .dmg file can be opened, an icon is displayed with a restricted stopping symbol, i.e. a circle with o cross through it. When trying to click on the file, a notice about the wrong version is displayed.

Thanks! I have some ideas to try, but I would need you to test it if I find something.

I have heard that active Traffic News switched from Puls, BR24 ... for warnings to Bayern3.
After Traffic News it switched back correctly.
Interesting feature...

Announcements are implemented according to standard. Alarm has the highest priority, it means it can interrupt any ongoing announcement but other onnouncements can't. If there are concurrent announcements that are enabled for current service (that should be avoided by broadcaster) the receiver continues receiving already started announcement a when it finishes it goes to other announcement if that is still active.

Do you have recording of these concurrent announcement, it is very rare case I would like to have it for testing.

Switching to other station works.

Antenne Bayern is a private station and has it´s own traffic news.

Bayern Heimat switch to Bayern1

Other switch to Bayern3.

On longer traffic news the slightshow from Bayern3 is shown...

Clear, I just wanted to describe how it should works in case it does not work as intended and needs to be fixed.

Thanks for sharing.
Yes, slideshow and DL(+) are received from the announcement service during announcement according to Rules of implementation. It should be restored to original service data when announcement ends.
I think I have currently the most complete implementation of announcements :xcool:

One hint regarding filename for raw file recordings:

When the check box "enclude XML header" is enabled, the file extension should be *.uff or *.xml in order not to mix up with files without this header.
$ head -c 2000 2023-02-05_125229_6A.raw
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SDR>
<Recorder Version="1.99.4+" Name="AbracaDABra"/>
<Device Model="Generic RTL2832U OEM" Name="rtl-sdr"/>
<Time Unit="UTC" Value="2023-02-05 11:52:35"/>
<Sample>
<Samplerate Unit="Hz" Value="2048000"/>
<Channels Bits="8" Container="uint8" Ordering="LSB">
<Channel Value="I"/>
<Channel Value="Q"/>
</Channels>
</Sample>
<Datablocks>
<Datablock Number="1" Unit="Channel" Offset="2048" Count="124518400">
<Frequency Unit="KHz" Value="181936"/>
<Modulation Value="DAB"/>
</Datablock>
</Datablocks>
</SDR>
Thanks anyway for implementing my suggestion mentioned in https://github.com/KejPi/AbracaDABra/issues/29 :-)

This works perfectly, see screenshot.

Well, I have not found any specification of the file extension. I do not agree using XML because it is not valid XML. If others use UFF in their apps then I will use it too to be aligned. By the way, what UFF stands for?
