Group RDS : 0 version A
|
The 0A group allow to transmit basic data (TA, M/S, DI, C1/C0) as well as Alternatives Frequency (AF) and the name of radio (PS Name)
Basic data of 0A group correspond to following data :
Data | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Traffic Annoucement : set to "1" if traffic data are being diffused, otherwise this flag is set to "0" .(see also description flag TP) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This function is very useful for a radio car because it allow to know quickly the other near transmitters and so to commute quickly when car moving . The frequency is coded by step of 100KHz from 87.6MHz, a list of frequencies must be always preceded by the consequentive number of the list (from 1 to 25 frequencies) The following figure gives the meaning
