TA
Traffic Announcement: This is a temporary flag added to the RDS data stream only as a traffic
bulletin is being aired. Some RDS car radios can be set to search for traffic bulletins among various
TP stations (see TP below) while tuned to a listener's preferred program, or even while playing
a tape or CD. As soon as any TP station broadcasts a traffic bulletin, the receiver temporarily
switches-over to receive it. When the bulletin is finished, the receiver switches back to the original
program, tape or CD.
TDC
Transparent Data Channels: The transparent data channels consist of 32 channels which may
be used to send any type of data.
TMC
Traffic Message Channel: This feature is intended to be used for the coded transmission of
traffic information.
TP
Traffic Program Identification: The TP flag identifies the station as one that routinely
broadcasts traffic bulletins for motorists as part of its normal, everyday programming. When the
TP flag is displayed on the receiver faceplate, the radio is searching for traffic announcements. The
radio keeps track of TP stations offering this service to speed up the search-and-switch process.
