• i
  info: KRVV - Bastrop, LA

  From the NRSC list: 100.10 MHz, PI code 3F1B, FCC facility 27468.
• i
  info: RadioDNS lookup name

1. RadioDNS registration

• ✓
  pass: Registered

  10010.3f1b.3a0.fm.radiodns.org points to the station's authoritative domain: radiopeople.com

2. Service discovery (SRV records)

• i
  info: _radiospi._tcp.radiopeople.com: not published
• ✓
  pass: _radioepg._tcp.radiopeople.com published

  priority 1, weight 1, port 80 -> www.radiopeople.com [target is an alias of radiopeople.com]
• !
  warn: SRV target www.radiopeople.com is a CNAME alias

  DNS rules (RFC 2782) say an SRV record should point at a name that has address records directly, not at an alias. Many resolvers cope, some do not.

  What to do: Give www.radiopeople.com its own A/AAAA record (or point the SRV record at the real host name).
• !
  warn: Only the older _radioepg record is published

  What to do: Add _radiospi._tcp.radiopeople.com on port 443 as well, so receivers that use HTTPS can find the SI file.
• i
  info: _radiovis._tcp: not published

  Slideshow/visuals (STOMP) - optional, only needed for a live slideshow service.
