sense of continuity and readability. Setting Parse Mode to 1 - Scroll by 1 letter will scroll the
message one character at a time, as described. Other numbers also safe-scroll the message, but at
2, 3, 4, and up to 8 characters at a time. Selecting 9 - Left Justified will parse, as described, but text
will be left-justified rather than centered on the display. 2 through 8 may be useful in some special
RDS applications, but 0 and 1 are the primary Parse Mode selections. To recap: 0 - Centered will
enable the more-popular, centered-auto-parsed block mode and 1 - Scroll by 1 letter the Dynamic
PS, letter-by-letter option.
Radio Text
RT Speed
– The Radio Text update rate is programmed by setting RT Speed =n , with n a number
between 1 and 9, corresponding to a refresh rate between slow and fast, respectively. Keeping the
throughput tradeoff in mind, unless Radio Text is being used for contests or for other quasidynamic
activities, it is best to use a lower number. A rate of 1, 2 or 3 will make little difference in the speed
of other RDS functions. Radio Text can be turned off entirely by setting: RT Speed=0. A zero value
in this field turns the Radio Text message off, but does not delete any saved message from memory.
The RT (Radio Text) is set in Basic RDS tab.
