1. General
2. Program Service
3. Buffers
In the basic section, we will cover two out of the three categories: the General and Program Service. In the General

1. First select whether you want to transmit in RDS format (Europe) or RBDS format (US).
2. Type in the Program Identification in this field. Program Identification is a 16-bit code assigned to an
individual station.

talk, rock, etc.
4. Enter the Program Service (PS) in the boxes provided. You can enter a maximum of 12 different PS
messages, in which each PS message can contain a maximum of 8 characters.
a. Repeat Count: Enter how many times you want each PS message to be transmitted before sending
the next PS message.
b. Message Count: Enter how many of the 12 PS messages that you actually want to transmit.
c. Mix: Select 100 percent.
5. Click Send Message button here. Now the RDS will transmit the PS message along with the PI and PTY.
You should see these data in your RDS receiver.
