PTY: Program TYpe
Set the format of the station.
Many receivers are equipped to select the stations received by the format type
preferred by the listener.
PI:Program Identification
The PI code, if already known, can be entered directly into the "PI Code" box, otherwise it can be generated by
choosing the country from which the program (Country) is originated and Coverage.
Lastly, the user will be asked to choose the last two digits of the code.
The code consists of 4 digits, the first digit indicates the country of origin, the second indicates the
coverage area, and the remaining ones identify the issuer within the coverage area.
The first digit, for Italy, should be set to 5.
For the second you choose, depending on the area served, one of the following codes:
0 Local coverage, the issuer has one frequency
1 International
2 national
3 Over regional
4..F Codes for regional broadcasters
The last two digits identify the issuer in the coverage area and must be different from all other issuers
that insist on the same pool.
Some examples:
5001: Italian (5) local coverage (0), program code 01
5202: Italian (5) national broadcaster (2), program code 02
54AF: an Italian broadcasting station (5) with regional coverage (4), AF program code
It is important to note that the PI code is unique in the service area of the issuer, otherwise the frequency
change will also occur to the foreign issuer having the PI code equal to one's own.
