RE: Re: Radio sources and Russound kit?

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Kevin!

I wasn't sure how the station name got poked into the CAV - that answers
it. Did the ML Russound plugin work with respect to a 'custom' text string
- is it this that the station name goes into? What if you wanted to display
other data on the keypad screen - could you do this and then at some
interval, revert back to the station name? I guess you hold the station
name in a HS virtual device and keep passing it back to the CAV as and
when????

Cheers,

Paul.
