Thanks..
I know some of the HUs that are in the UK and the US have different RDS specs and support if any.. Typically the EURO units support more RDS. I will wait for your install to see what it really brings to the table.. If it delivers as marketed, this might be a really great deal.
FYI: Summary of RDS Abbreviations:-
AF
Alternative Frequencies
A list of a station's frequencies in adjacent transmitter areas.
CT
Clock Time and Date
Data containing time and date information so that the receiver can display. Using this signal has the advantage over a self-contained clock in the radio that it adjusts itself to changes between BST and GMT (UTC) and it does not loose or gain time.
DI
Decoder Information
This signal allows for miscellaneous function in the radio to be controlled
EON
Enhanced Other Networks
Information transmitted giving the radio a cross-reference to other stations for Travel service and other features.
MS
Music/Speech
This allows for the relative levels of speech and music to be altered.
PI
Programme Identification
This is a station code used in conjunction with AF data to provide automatic tuning to the best signal for a chosen service.
PIN
Programme Identification Number
This signal identifies a given programme and allows the radio to turn itself (and possibly a recorder) on for that programme.
PTY
Programme Type Selection
A signal which allows for the selection of listening by one of 15 types of programme rather than by the station.
PS
Programme Service Name
A signal which enables the name of the station to be displayed.
RT
Radio Text
This allows information about the programme to be displayed by the radio.
TDC
Transparent Data Channel
This allows for data to downloaded via RDS.
TP/TA
Travel Service
These signals enable the travel information to be heard, regardless of the choice of listening.
