Station change without
obvious cause.
Some radio stations
which had originally
transmitted regional
identification have been
transmitting the RDS
signals without regional
identification for some
time.
Without regional
identification it is no
longer possible to
separate stations with the
same station name which
transmit different
programs.1 Point out the facts to
the customer.
Do not replace any
devices, state of the art
engineering.
