You must write different sentence. The upload to the RDS encoder is triggered by the sentence change.

Thanks for your answer Jan, so i can write different sentences in a new line each one? Is there any especial syntax? for example if i want change DPS1 or DPS2 how should do it?

Thanks again !!

You can prepare a simple text file with one text message on each line. Then you have two different options how to continue:

1) The PIRA32 RDS encoder will be placed on a remote site without online connection:
Use Dynamic PS 2 and Messages feature. Go to the Messages sheet and load your text file using the Load button. Then continue as described here: http://www.pira.cz/rds/show.asp?art=guide_scheduling_0 (http://www.pira.cz/rds/show.asp?art=guide_scheduling_0) (select Dynamic PS 2 instead of RT2). The RDS encoder will loop through the text messages automatically with no more support from the PC.

2) The RDS encoder will be permanently controlled from a PC:
Use Dynamic PS 1 and External text feature. Continue here: http://www.pira.cz/rds/show.asp?art=guide_text_5 (http://www.pira.cz/rds/show.asp?art=guide_text_5). Make sure you've selected "All lines" option. The MagicRDS will read the text file line per line in a loop and send the text to the RDS encoder as Dynamic PS 1.

Complete guide for different cases is at http://www.pira.cz/rds/show.asp?art=magic_rds_how_to (http://www.pira.cz/rds/show.asp?art=magic_rds_how_to)
