RDS Software
The WINRDS software (in the Italian and English language) supplied on CD-ROM
enables the user to set 8 distinct RDS messages of 16 words each and up to 25
alternative frequencies; each message is triggered automatically at the time of day
set by the user. In addition, it enables the management of the services listed in the
previous paragraph.
Encoder management requires an IBM compatible Personal Computer connected
to the encoder through a serial reversing cable.
When finished with programming, the PC may be disconnected.
