TYPE OF PROGRAM (PTY)
You can receive even more information by
using RDS. Certain stations transmit signals
identifying the program type (PTY), suchas
news (NEWS), sports (SPORTS), pop (POP
MUSIC), culture (CULTURE), etc.
If there is weak or interrupted reception, it
can take quite a while before PTY is avail-
able.
PTY can also be used for catastrophe
warnings. If the station is broad-
casting this type of program, then "ALERT"
will appear in the display.
<
The program type can only be
switched on or off in the radio
mode.
