RDS Encoder
Programming
The method of programming is similar to that of the main broadcaster (see pre-
vious pages). For each network it is possible to program a maximum of 7 frequencies with
method A and 4 frequencies with method B.
To enable transmission of the programmed data for each network, just press the
“Message Active” key; if it is coloured green, this means that the data is valid and may
be transmitted.
ATTENTION: data relating to active networks (those for which the “Message Active” is
green) are transmitted even if the ON/OFF key on the main panel is set (green).
Time & Clock Data
The RDS encoder has an on-board clock-calendar which provides an autono-
mous timing function. The clock-calendar can be read and updated so that listener’s
receivers can be synchronised. When this message is transmitted, the encoder sends a
data packet containing the date and time referred to the Greenwich meridian on every
change of minute. The time difference is expressed in half-hour steps.
To synchronise the clock-calendar to the actual date and time:
1. Press the CLOCK key or the TIME&C key
