Physical Description

Front Panel
2.1.1
Status LCD
The LCD area splits into two lines.
The first line shows key RDS services which require quick access. These services are PS (incl. dynamic), PI, TP and TA.
The second line shows the most important status values and RDS services in a loop. Depending on the configuration, some values may be
omitted. For example if the internal clock source is set for the RDS subcarrier, the PILOT value is not showed. Some events may affect the
order. For example if Radiotext changes, it's showed in the next cycle regardless of previous order.
