The RDS Mode drop-down menu allows you to choose from several different RDS options.
♦
When set to Off, RDS is turned off completely. If you want to insert RDS after the Omnia.9 in the chain, this is the mode to use.
The External Input 1 and External Input 2 modes determine which of Omnia.9 MPX inputs are active for RDS input when
using an external encoder. Omnia.9 has build in RDS confidence decoders, available in the display settings under RDS Decoder,

competition instead of your station when the listener pushes the preset button! PI codes are usually assigned by the
respective frequency/telecommunications authority in each country. In the United States and Canada (RBDS), PI codes

Using the built-in RDS encoder is the simplest and most straight-forward means of getting RDS data on the air since everything
is handled within Omnia.9 itself:
