Title: RNS 510 DAB E
Post by: Olifran on 13 February 2014, 16:14
Hi
With so many versions of the RNS 510 about I'm quite clueless as to what are the latest standards.
I have seen an RNS 510 DAB on eBay at revision E.
I'm toying with buying it but want to know what version E is?
Is it the latest? Will it have been made in 2013 ect

Thanks in advance
Chris.

The very latest version are dab. If the ones your looking at rns510 with dab then they will have been built within the last year.

I just bought a 1T0035686E which has dab the 2014 maps and ssd i believe. Was pricey mind but works nicely. I already had a dab rcd510 so didnt want to lose the dab functionality although it has a better dab implementation like dab TA.

Hi mate

I have just added an E unit too and was wondering have you ever had any album covers pop up along side the radio text?

It came up via london capital on the DAB station(don't know if you get that channel or not?)
you have to have the DAB logo next to the radio text

What firmware do you have? I believe I have 5238 and just noticed there is a 5269 available.

Find it very strange that you have an E unit only running 5238!!!!

Sorry my bad, mines the same software not sure what made me think it was 5238. Went through all the DAB channels no pics on any. Maybe the transmitters just don't send out that data in Gloucestershire. We only recently got DAB radio.
