Enable Regional DST is checked for Regions
or Nations that observe DST. This would always
be checked in the United States.
Check
Enable Local DST if your locality ob-
serves DST. This should
almost always be checked
as well. There are a few grey areas here: Arizona
broadcasters typically leave this box unchecked
since Arizona does not observe DST, whereas
Indiana has worked out most of its DST mess:

not fully support all of this time data and there
are no commercially available HD Radio receiv-
ers which make use of this time data anyway.

System > Upgrade Device Firmware... to
open a pop-up window to show the currently con-
nected HDE-200’s MAC address, the current firm-
ware code Version, and the HDE-200 description.
