opt for this, or you may force Daylight Saving Time (
DST
), or by
leaving both boxes unchecked you can ignore DST completely.
We have provided a reliable default
Time Server
. If you have a
favorite, however, you may overtype the

other and click

When this feature is working properly, the correct date and lo-

‘STATIC’ RDS DATA
The PI Code
The first and arguably the most important setting here is your
station’s PI code. Important enough, in fact, that the 732 has a
built-in safeguard to
avoid improper oper-
ation. This was dis-
cussed at the very
beginning of this Sec-
tion.
The PI (Program Identification code) is the ‘Digital ID’ that is
unique to your station, and has importance in the automatic
program-seeking feature provided by the Radio Data System.
In the US and Canada, just overtype the factory-default
????
entry with your own call letters, and then click
Save
. The 732 will compute the hexadecimal code au-
tomatically from a formula that’s part of the RBDS
standard.
Outside North America, this call letter translation utility does
not apply. Instead you must enter the 4-character hex code
that will be assigned and provided to you by your country’s
broadcasting authority. Again, just overtype the factory default
with your assigned code in the
PI:
field, and then click
Save
. In
the RDS mode, where there is no correlation between call letters
and the PI code,
Call:
will be a blank field.
MS and DI
‘Flags’
These two setup options should
be obvious. Unless you are an
all-talk or all-news station, or
broadcast all your programming
monaurally, the default entries
shown here would be the proper
choices.
TP and CT
This next pair of options is tricky and deserves some careful
consideration.
The TP (Traffic Program) function aids
the motorist by having his RDS radio
monitor all TP-flagged stations so that
it can quickly cut-over and grab a TA
(Traffic Announcement) from any flag-
