Hi,

I'm having an issue with the RDS transmitting European characters like œ å ø æ etc...

Does JMPX support these characters?

Thank you!

I don't think I implemented anything to that would allow characters like that. RDS seems to support some sort of bank switching https://pira.cz/rds/rdschars.pdf but I don't remember anything like that in the specs I went by when implementing RDS. They say it doesn't use Unicode so the Unicode chars would need to be converted first into however the bank switching works.
