5.5.2 PS (Program Service name)
The PS name is max. 8 character long radio station name that will be shown most of the time on the radio display.
Advanced use of the PS (Dynamic/Scrolling PS) is discussed later.
5.5.3 PTY (Program Type)
The PTY code defines the type of the programme broadcast within 31 possibilities. See chapter 11.2 for a
complete list. This code could be used for search tuning.
Important note: PTY number 1 (News) should never be left on all the time. Use PTY number 3 (Info) for this purpose.
5.5.4 TP (Traffic Program)
This is a flag to indicate that the tuned program carries traffic announcements. The TP flag should only be set on
programs which dynamically switch on the TA identification during traffic announcements. The flag shall be taken
into account during automatic search tuning.
5.5.5 MS (Music/Speech)
This is a two-state signal to provide information on whether music or speech is being broadcast. The signal would
permit receivers to be equipped with two separate volume controls, one for music and one for speech, so that the
listener could adjust the balance between them to suit his individual listening habits.
5.5.6 AF (Alternative Frequencies)
The Alternative Frequencies are used to tell receivers what frequencies they can receive the radio station on. This
facility is particularly useful in the case of car and portable radios. For this to work, each transmitter must have RDS
with the same PI code.
Important note: If second PI digit is set to zero (x0xx), this indicates that the station has only one transmitter and
the AF list is ignored on most receivers.
