• DI Stereo: (bit 0 of DI, see NOTE below): select Stereo or Mono. This selection is a decoder
identification operating mode flag. Default is Mono.
NOTE
:
Artificial Head, Compression Flag, Dynamic PTY and Stereo are part of the DI (Decoder
Information) data (see UI editing screens on Figure 2.2.86 on page 2.2.113 ). RDS Data is provided as a
single-digit hex input between 0 and F, that encodes the flags for the four settings as a 4-bit code. For
example: hex number 3 is bit-represented by 0011, from bit 3 on the left to bit 0 on the right. This
number is decoded to mean Stereo = Yes/Stereo (bit 0=1), Artificial Head = Yes/Enabled (bit 1=1),
Compression = No/Disabled (bit 2=0) and Dynamic PTY = No/Static (bit 3=0).

• Baud Rate: (displayed only when Data Source is ASCII over Serial or UECP over Serial): Select
150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115,200 bps (default is
19200). Does not apply to the Internal data source.
• Local Echo (displayed only when Data Source is ASCII over Serial). Select Enabled or Disabled
(default is Disabled). When Enabled, the exciter RDS port transceiver will echo all inputs and
controls received back to the terminal
.
