Is there any way to get the radio unit to show the full artist/title in SAT mode? Currently my display truncates it at about 10 letters or so.

i dont think so.....

it sucks, imo....

some titles/artists are completely unreadable.......


on the non-tech sat, it scrolls the title.......

 

[FXLENT]

I have non-tech! How do you scroll it?

turn the mode knob (RHS knob) and it should display it all.......

The radio supports up to 20 characters on the display for artist and title, but the XM receiver doesn't. Apparently the Sirius receiver provides longer titles.

The XM receiver sends what it get's from the broadcast, then pads the rest of string with nulls (empty characters).

Looks like a case of blame XM, not Nissan (Oops, I mean Infiniti) or Clarion.

okay.....

as usual, thanks for the tech. info J!!

now... why oes am/fm scroll thru whereas the XM wont??

(same answer?)

you'd think it would be parallel in output...

I guess when you don't have enough characters to scroll, then it won't! As far as I know, it only scrolls, if there's enough there to scroll to.

So far, I've only seen CD's allow me to scroll. I haven't listened to AM, but I did check that it worked once. On FM, I've yet to see a station here, broadcast anything more than a Station ID on RDS. (I keep hoping...)

when i testdrove a fx with tech it listed the artist and song title for every song i heard on fm.

Maybe thats just cuz the bay area stations are supurb! YEAH KMEL!

my area shows both as well, but it wasnt until around oct. that (most) started.....


guess jaak's stations have yet to come around...........

I'm half tempted to go talk to the station engineers and ask them...

To do it, requires an RDS encoder and modulator that will work with the transmitter to insert the RDS subcarrier. That's at the transmitter end. At the Studio end, there has to be a system that's modern enough to supply the artist and track info. Now I know most of the major stations have this in place, as they're already on DAB here in Canada (But hardly anyone's listening there yet) and all that info is there for most of them.

So it's just a case of getting off their behinds and connecting what's already installed. They're sending station ID's so the transmitter hardware is in place. And DAB has the content.

Maybe they haven't bought the connecting cable yet. Some of those connectors are pricy! Maybe as much as $5!!! :?

 

[esemes]

maybe someone tripped over the cable, and it pulled out a little bit.....
