I am looking forward to this..... :) I wonder if they've implemented the appropriate tables/settings for both the US and European versions of RDS? (Mostly how station genres are displayed.) Canada and Mexico use the US version, while most others use the European version. There's not much difference, other than genre, but enough to make it a bit confusing when using a European RDS radio in the US. I think a full implementation would probably only use less than 10kb of code & tables, and to have a setting in the Settings menu to switch between the two, or off.
There is a great Wikipedia article on RDS that details the regional differences, which are more than just the Program type tables. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System
I guess after Canada was trying Eureka for High Def, now you use HD for FM and MW,(AM), like in the US? HD for AM is not too popular for AM because of adjacent channel interference. Some NYC stations which had implemented HD AM years ago have dropped that format I like talk station CJAD 800 from Montreal in contrast to US talk stations. 😊
That is what I love about this radio - it just keeps getting better and has great support by the company! A must buy when it goes on sale.
That RDS looks pretty cool. All the RDS on one display. Only my TEF6686 radio has that all in one screen. That is a great update. Great job Choyong. 👍
This is aweome news. Thank you for sharing

Good Question

Will we see Tecsun H-501x recommend?
:)
Do you know when the upgrade will be avail for US?
Hey Gilles, do y'all have HD Radio in Canada?
Yes HD radio exists, in Montreal we have a few HD stations on FM and 1 on AM
I receive 95.1 from Montreal, CBC French, when going up
I-93 in New Hampshire. 😊
Is the RDS update available for
the Choyong LC90M too?
Once available I believe it will be for both receivers
Thank you, look forward to that update.

That's interesting.So, I shoud wait a while?
The update can be done at home, so you just update the radio when the firmware is available
