3.5.5 SYSTEM MENU
The System menu items are used for setting ad-
ditional HDE-200 configurations and to display
or control information specific to the FlexStar de-
vice community.
3.5.5.1 Mode Control Menu
Click
System > Mode Control... to open the Sys-
tem Mode Settings window where some of the most
basic HD Radio receiver display settings are made.
Operational Mode Control
The top section of the window is where the
modulation
Band
is set. At this time this setting is
fixed on
FM (AM HD Radio will be supported
when Flexstar products are released). The
Modu-
lation
mode should be set to
Hybrid MP1-11.
Station ID
The lower section of this window is where the
entries used by the Station Information Service
Transport Data (SIS Data) are entered. Note that
the current HDE-200 firmware release is in com-
pliance with NRSC document SY_IDD_1020s,
Rev F.
The
Country Code
is entered into the Country
Code entry box. At this writing, there is little util-
ity in selecting anything other than
US in this box.
The
FCC Facility ID
is your assigned FCC ID
number.
The
Call Letters
is limited to four characters. To
add “-FM” to your Call Letters, check the FM check
box. If you do not want “-FM” added to your call
letters, uncheck the FM check box. In the SIS Data
this field is called the Call Sign Standard.
The
Slogan
entry box allows up to 56 alphanu-
meric characters to be entered. These scroll across
the HD Radio display after the Station Name. In
the SIS Data this field is called the Slogan Stan-
dard. Be sure to edit the default text in this box or
else “This is the Slogan” could be scrolling across
HD Radio receivers when tuned to your station!
The
Message
(also known as the Station Mes-
sage in the SIS Data) is a text message of up to
124 alphanumeric characters that scroll across the
HD Radio after the Slogan. Be sure to edit the
default text in this box or else “This is the Mes-
sage” could be scrolling across HD Radio receiv-
ers when tuned to your station!
Check mark Priority Alert if you want the HD
Radio receiver to emphasize the Station Message.
How this is done varies by the HD Radio receiver
manufacturer, so the message might be in bold-
face, underlined, in a larger typeface than the Sta-
tion Name and Slogan, or be surrounded by
*ALERT*.
Encoding
allows for support of future Unicode
character sets, but at this time it should be set to
the E.1 encoding method.
