As said before, information (like song name, artist or program name) are send thought RDS PSN (Program Service Name) or RT (Radio Text).

AEV SpA advise the user that International Specifications don’t allow Program Service name “dynamics”. For the safety of the listener “The use of PSN to transmit text other than a single eight character name is not permitted“.
AEV SpA suggest to use the Radio Text channel.

Different settings of RDS4500 are required if is used RT or PSN channel. These settings are useful to allow a data transmission optimization.

- RDS Settings using Radio Text.
Using RDSPCSAT.exe software, we suggest to set the Group repetition time the with these parameters:

Now RT transmission has an high priority vs. PSN.

Now it’s important to insert the default RT line.
The system controls if the actual “ON AIR” material “Type” is into the OnAir.ini Type list.
If not, the system turn off automatically the transmission of the additional information and send only the “RDS default” information (ex. Radio XXX www.RadioXXX.com into RT00line)



If the actual “ON AIR” material “Type” is into the OnAir.ini Type list, the info of RT00 line is transmitted alternatively with RT04 line (this line is updated automatically by VirtualRDS Sw.

VirtualRDS updates only line RT04, the maximum length is 64 characters.

If not, the system turn off automatically the transmission of the additional information and send only the “RDS default” information (ex. XXX NTWK into PSN00 line and TIME DATE into PSN08 09)



If the actual “ON AIR” material “Type” is into the OnAir.ini Type list, the info of PSN00, 08, 09 lines are transmitted alternatively with PSN 10-50line (this lines are updated automatically by VirtualRDS Sw.
