BROADCASTING ACCURATE TIME 

If you choose to configure your RDS Encoder to broadcast local time as part of the RDS data, 

there are several steps to enable this feature. The first is to enable broadcast of RDS data group 4A, 
which is designated for transmitting clock and calendar data. You may do this on the internal website 
: on the RDS Configuration page, select the flag that enables CT transmission.Via telnet or a terminal 
session, you can use the commands: 

CT=1 

 You do not need to add 4A group in the group sequence, because setting CT=1 enables the 4A group 
automatic transition on every minute despite the group sequence. Here is an example of setting 
clock time using ASCII command.  

CT_SET=01/01/2009 09:12:32 +4 

The date and time format is : dd/mm/YYYY hh:mm:ss  +/-offset ,where the date time is the UTC  and 
the offset is in +/- 30 minutes units. The above example is confi2 hours for local time offset.  

To view the configured time, use the command: 

CT_SET?
