RDS PI Code Calculator (for USA)

This identifier does not work for non-U.S. stations!

This page is designed to calculate the correct PI code value for your station's callsign.

Callsign: (do not enter the -FM or -LP suffix)
PI code:(decimal)
PI code:(hexadecimal)

To check this result:
  • Go to this page.
  • Enter the hexadecimal PI code in the upper box.
  • Click Calculate.
  • Your station's callsign should appear in the lower box.

  • There is no error checking in this JavaScript. Enter a nonsense callsign and you may get a PI code anyway.
