Northside Radio RT Updates Partially Accurate
“Thanks for that. A couple of oddities actually; An Extended ASCII code of 255 that gives a non-breaking space for the LPS blank display & now transmitting Group Code 11A, which is usually used for RT+, but no accompanying Group 3A :face_with_diagonal_mouth: Who knows what has occurred. :person_shrugging: Perhaps tech work incomplete or someone tinkering or…? UPDATE: It also appears that Northside Radio have also added SONG TITLE & ARTIST information to their RT listening to their Armenian program with RT messages now updating every 3 minutes (ex 6 minutes). And another update for them, they have also updated their station logo. The station is also on a donation drive. UPDATE 2: Group 3A has now been added & RT+ is now functional on Northside Radio.”
Summary
The extended ASCII character 255 does correspond to a non‑breaking space, and using Alt + 255 on Windows inserts this NBSP character. There is no current evidence in the provided sources confirming the details about Group Code 11A, Group 3A, or the specific radio station updates, so those parts cannot be verified.
