Title: letters and accentuation
Post by: miguelvalentim on October 12, 2021, 07:48:24 pm

How to make the P164 transmit letters and accentuation of Portuguese grammar like for example:
ç - á - à - ão - vê

Thank you

The set of supported characters is final and it's given by RDS standards. You can find it in the pdf technical manual, section '10.1 Character Set and Code-Table Conversions'.

The RDS encoder fully supports this character set. In receivers, the support is variable, depending on the model.

Magic RDS 4 users may select how the extended set is being sent, either as it is (recommended for most receivers) or converted to basic set (compatible with old receivers). See Options - Local Settings - Unicode conversion.
