This is my first post, so be gentle...
I have two of these transmitters. They both had to go back to Progressive Concepts for repair, one (maybe both, I don't remember) for power supply issues. Anyway, both transmitters, when RDS is activated, start the scrolling with BW RDS, followed by a several second delay. Then, the message I put in starts. The five letters noted above do not appear in the box where the message is keyed in, and they can't be removed. Progressive Concepts has been no help. Have any of you seen this issue?
The character limit seems to be 64, although PC thinks it is only 32. One of my transmitters will not display the 32nd character... just leaves a blank spot in the scroll. Other transmitter... all characters are there. Weird.
Any comments/suggestions? FWIW the serial numbers are 30930 and 31070. The second one has the missing character. Software for both is 20-R.
