Freq, 

of course, is the frequency that the radio is currently 

tuned to. 

RSSI

  is  the  same  measure  of  signal  strength  shown  on  

front-panel Menu Screen 2. 

Multipath

 and

 SNR

 are the same measurements displayed on 

front-panel Menu Screen 3 and are detailed on Page 11. 
Below that are the two 

windows  that  display 

data associated with the 

FM or HD Radio pro-

gramming.    Both  win-

dows download and ac-

cumulate data concur-

rently,  but  must  be 

viewed independently. 

FM Info

  shows  the 

PI

 

code and decoded 

Call

 

(

letters)  of  the  station.  

PS

 is the 8-character display that appears 

on the faceplate of all RDS-equipped radios.  

RT

 (RadioText) is a 64-character field that 

can show title and artist, station contact 

info,  or  even  advertising.    

Time

 shows the 

current clock time at the studio location if 

this group is transmitted.  Many broadcast-

ers elect not to. 

HD Info

 is the Program-Associated Data 

(PAD) that accompanies HD Radio channels.  

It includes 

Name

, the station’s call letters; 

Slogan

, the station’s ‘street’ name’; and cur-

rently-playing 

Artist

 and 

Title

 

Select the reception mode by choosing a ‘button’ in the 

Pro-

gram:

 field.  

FM

 is the first choice, and HD Radio broadcasts 

are available on buttons that are shown as active.  HD but-

tons are grayed-out if that particular HD Radio channel is 

— 18 — 

not present.  In the example above, the station is transmit-

ting 

HD1

HD2

 and 

HD3

The receiver may be tuned with the Web interface by four 

different means.  1) grab the ‘slider’ with your mouse and 

drag it back and forth,  2) highlight the slider and then use

Preset Stations

 is the area to program frequencies into 

memory,  for  instant  call-up  by  clicking  on  an  entry  or  for  

the self-sequencing StationRotation feature, explained be-

low. 
With a station tuned-in, click 

the

  bar.     This  

brings up a 

Save Station

 box for 

typing-in  an  identifier,  either 

the call letters or a short ‘street 

name,’ up to 8 characters. This 

will replace the top

.       Note  

that  the  reception  mode  is  saved  as  

well, permitting a station’s FM and 

HD1 channels to be logged as individ-

ual  presets.    HD2  and  up  are  treated  

likewise;  whatever  is  playing  will  be-

come a separate preset. 
Presets are erased by clicking the big

 at the right-hand end of the indi-

vidual entry.

robin’ sequencing.   When  the

that station for the interval programmed into the
