Descriptions of the PTY (Programme Type) codes, TP (Traffic Pro- gramme) and TA (Traffic Announcement)

With the MD-X60H, you can search for and receive the following PTY, TP and TA signals.

RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations are now providing. It allows these FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and information about what type of pro- gramme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provide the RDS service, the RDS will appear, the station frequency (and then the station name if sent) is displayed.

The TP (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the re- ceived broadcast carries traffic announcements, and the TA (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic announcement is being re- ceived.

EON will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other Networks information) data is being broadcast.

Note:

When the TP and TA appear at the same time, an announcement is being made.

When only the TA appears, an announcement is not being made. (See page 18.)
