Tuner Questions

Hi..

Now i have installed my new tuner, and it's great... BUT... I'm a little dissapointed by the RDS featrure, as it doesn't seem to work properly on the channels that it should. the National channels here in denmark goes thru great! with full RDS. But on my favorite station it doesn't ever get AF, or RDS. And it's not because it doesn't send it out, with my 3 former radio's it worked fine, and also the tuner seems to be overly sensitive to movement on the road - it actually gets alot of channels but when you drive the sinal strength varies too much compared to any of the other radio's i've had in the car..

any input?

There are some RDS bugs in the 2.0 final code. Do a BBS search for "tuner" and "RDS" and you'll see threads on the topic and some work arounds.

There's newer software on the way which hopefully will have these problems addressed.

Okay thanks tony... any news from anyone on when our mortal people will see 3.0 beta out ?

Doesn't seem to get any relevant results on that search

Hmm, anyone got any links to the threads about RDS bugs?

It does not work for me, so far, though
