Page 18: D) Using The Fm Radio
d) Using the FM radio RDS as reception concept The abbreviation “RDS” stands for Radio Data System, i.e. additional inaudible coded information is transmitted via the RDS station. Your car radio is a device that can evaluate these coded data that are transmitted by most radio stations. The following essential additional data is transmitted: - Programme Identification (PI) - Traffic Programme (TP) - Page 19 Programme Type (PTY) This code gives the receiver information about the type of the transmitted programme (e.g. sports, classic, news etc.). The listener can select his favourite programme purposefully. A national disaster alarm can also be transmitted this way. However, not all radio stations offer the PTY service. Therefore, when you leave the transmission area, the RDS system favourably automatically switches to a similar station that can be better received.
