KALZ RDS KMJ message

M

mofocat

I have 2 radios that will scroll RDS messages. I never look at what might be scrolling. That just doesn't interest me. But, today i happen to land on KALZ. A rarity. And just as rare, I looked at the RDS. And I looked again. And again! LOL it was scrolling "KMJ POWERTALK" ! As the letters scrolled from right to left, just as the "KMJ" was going off the left side of the display it changed to KALZ. What the heck? I watched it scroll this way, repeating the same, over and over. I tuned my other RDS capable portable to KALZ and it's scrolling message did NOT have the 'KMJ', just "KALZ POWERTALK" WTF LOL The first tuner was still doing the KMJ > morf into KALZ thing.... for a few more cycles... and THEN the "KMJ" in the scroll stopped, and only 'KALZ' was displayed, no more KMJ included. Just "KALZ POWERTALK". What goes on here? Someone having a bit of fun?
 
Sangean PR-D5 by chance, or similar? My PR-D5 does that with my local NPR station. Seems to remember a bit of the last thing it saw and add it to what I'm tuned to. But only on that station! Must be something in the RDS data that should be reset by the new incoming data, and isn't. I haven't quite figured that out yet. And only on *that* radio, as far as I can tell. I dunno..

Actually, it was my PRD 15. My Sony XDR-FHD did not show the kmj.
