Clearing a memory location

To clear a memory location you first have to select it
with the 

m

 STAT 

Ù

 or 

Ú

 button (3, 4).

If you now press the 

m

 DEL button (10) once, the

from the display.
If you want to clear all memories (for instance after
you have moved to a new city) you should depress
the 

m

 DEL button (10) for at least 5 seconds. The

display will briefly show »ERASE?«.
If you release the button nothing will happen, but if
you hold the button depressed for another 5
seconds until the display shows »87.5 MHz« all
memories will be cleared.
If you press the 

m

 STAT 

Ù

 or 

Ú

 button (3, 4) the

display will show FREE.

RDS (Radio Data System)

Your Myth 7 is capable of receiving and evaluating
RDS information (like Radiotext, Clock-Time,
Program Service Name, Program Type) which is
transmitted simultaneously with the standard
broadcast signal. The station name is shown in the
display and automatically stored in memory,
overwriting any previously stored name.

Radiotext

A number of RDS stations transmit RADIOTEXT:
additional information about the station and the
program. Radiotext appears as a ‘moving lights
billboard’ in the display. It is transmitted character by
character so it may take some time until the entire
text has been received.
Radiotext display is selected by repeatedly pressing
the 

m

 DISP button (11) until the display shows the

running text.
If a station does not transmit Radiotext the display
will show »NO TEXT« for approx. 1.5 seconds after
which the station name is displayed.

Clock-Time

A number of RDS stations transmit Clock-Time
information. You can select this by pressing the 

m

DISP button (11) until the display shows the time
(__h __m). The display is updated every minute but
only if this information is transmitted.

Program Type recognition (PTY)

RDS allows you to select FM stations by the type of
program they transmit. There are 16 standard
program categories defined (see also 

7. Important

Information

).

With the 

m

 PROG 

Ù

 or 

Ú

 button (5, 6) you can

recall the different program types one by one. The
display briefly shows the PTY code and then the
station name transmitting this program type.
If there are no stations broadcasting the selected
Program Type the display briefly shows »NONE«.

Assigning station names

Stations not transmitting RDS code can be assigned
any name you choose. If you try to assign a name to
a RDS station the display will show 

»

RDS DATA«

indicating that you can not assign a name.

Press the 

m

 EDIT button (9). There are eight input

fields available. By repeatedly pressing the

m

 TUN  

Ù

 or 

Ú

 button (1, 2) you can position the

cursor at the desired position.
With the 

m

Ù

 or 

Ú

 button (3, 4) you then

select one of the characters A - Z, 0 - 9 or a blank
space.

To edit an entry, move the cursor to the specific
position: the character will blink. Select a new

Ù

 or

button).

Erasing a station name

While still in input mode press the 

m

 DEL button

(10): the previous name is deleted and the cursor
jumps to the first (left) position.

Storing information

To quit the input function and store the inputted
data: press the 

m

 EDIT button (9) or the

 

m

 MEM button (7).
