EON
Enhanced Other Networks information: This feature can be used to update the information
stored in a receiver about program services other than the one received. Alternative frequencies,
the PS name, Traffic Program and Traffic Announcement identification as well as Program Type
and Program Item Number information can be transmitted for each other service. The relation to
the corresponding program is established by means of the relevant Program Identification. Linkage
information, consisting of four data elements, provides the means by which several program
services may be treated by the receiver as a single service during times a common program is
carried. Linkage information also provides a mechanism to signal an extended set of related
services.
EWS
Emergency Warning System: The EWS feature is intended to provide for the coding of
warning messages. These messages will be broadcast only in cases of emergency and will only be
evaluated by special receivers.
FFG
Free Format Groups: A provision has been included in the SmartGen Mini to transmit
proprietary data directly within a legitimate RDS group. This is a special use of the encoder for
non-standard applications.
IH
In House application: This refers to data to be decoded only by the operator. Some examples
noted are identification of transmission origin, remote switching of networks and paging of staff.
The applications of coding may be decided by each operator itself.
M/S
Music / Speech Switch: This flag simply indicates whether music or speech is the primary
broadcast programming. The purpose of this function is not well explained in the respective
Standards; hence it comes as no surprise that it is not widely used.
ODA
Open Data Applications: The Open Data Applications feature allows data applications, not
previously specified in EN 50067, to be conveyed in a number of allocated groups in an RDS
transmission. The groups allocated are indicated by the use of type 3A group which is used to
identify to a receiver the data application in use in accordance with the registration details in the
EBU/RDS Forum - Open Data Applications Directory, and the NRSC Open Data Applications
Directory.
