T A T raffic Announcement:
This is a temporary flag added to the RDS
data stream only as a traffic bulletin is being aired. Some RDS car
radios can be set to search for traffic bulletins among various TP
stations (see T P below) while tuned to a listener’s preferred
program, or even while playing a tape or CD. As soon as any TP
station broadcasts a traffic bulletin, the receiver temporarily
switches-over to receive it. When the bulletin is finished, the
receiver switches back to the original program, tape or CD.
T DC T ransparent Data Channel: Conceived prior to common use of the
Internet, the TDC would have allowed a continuous stream of
broadcast data to be routed to a personal computer or to a printer.
The listener could print merchants’ money-saving coupons or
even an abbreviated newspaper. It has been suggested that the
TDC could be used for MP3 music downloads, though the low
throughput of RDS would make this really quite tedious.
T MC T raffic Management Channel: This is a data channel for advanced
automobile traffic information and traffic management. The
European CENELEC group has defined the coding for this
service, though the group keeps this information close to its
collective vest. TMC is not used in the US.
T P T raffic Program Identification: The TP flag identifies the station as
one that routinely broadcasts traffic bulletins for motorists as part
of its normal, everyday programming. The TP flag is displayed on
the receiver faceplate, indicating that the radio is searching for
traffic announcements. The radio keeps track of TP stations
offering this service to speed up the search-and-switch process.

‘Page’ 9 of the LCD screen gives both a digital readout and an
analog bargraph display of the RDS subcarrier injection level. For
this measurement to be accurate, the Model 510 must be
calibrated with reference to 100% carrier modulation, as described
on Pages 7 and 8 of this Manual.

‘Page’ 10 of the LCD screen lists the RDS groups being
transmitted. Because some groups are sent infrequently, this
listing is cumulative . If more groups are seen than are
anticipated, reset the Model 510 by cycling the power off and back
on. This will clear the register.
RUNNING T HE OPT IONAL S OFT WARE
The Model 510 Decoder/Reader can send raw RDS data to a PC.
Output data contains everything encoded into the RDS data stream,
including groups or special-purpose functions that are not decoded
by the Model 510.
The software diskette that is included with the Model 510 provides
only elementary decoding of the basic data groups, essentially
duplicating the Model 510 front-panel LCD display. If further
