18.6 PROGRAM SERVICE NAME (PS)
18.6.1 SCOPE
The PS feature is intended to denote the Program Service Name.
Both the European CENELEC and the American NRSC specifications for RDS/RBDS operation expressly forbid
Dynamic PS as it may be a distraction to the drivers. Nonetheless, dynamic messaging is currently practiced
worldwide.
For this reason, the RDS specification doesn’t provide any provision for the dynamic use of the PS feature and its
use is under the sole responsibility of the user.
If the PS is constantly changed, it is possible that some receivers will display a mixture of old and
new PS message on the same display. In some cases, no PS will be displayed at all. This may
occurs as message byte group order is not univocally recommended by the RDS standards and
strictly depends on the coder/decoder physical implementation. Neither the RDS encoder nor the
car receiver are faulty.
18.6.2 THE PROGRAM SERVICE NAME EDITOR
Click the PS button to access the main PS message window (Program Service Name).
PSN - Program Service Name is a text consisting of not more than eight alphanumeric characters which is
displayed by RDS receivers in order to inform the listener what programme service is being broadcast by the
station to which the receiver is tuned. An example for a PS name is "Radio 21".
The FALCON 15 PS panel allows You to broadcast single PS messages, PS sequences as well as PS
Scrolling messages.
