the display by the station’s PTY name. The PTY and
PTY name may be the same or different. Press BAND
to recall the frequency and PTY displays. If the radio
is tuned to a station that is not broadcasting RDS
information, the station’s frequency will remain on the
display. While RDS is on, the radio will search for a
stronger station in the network when a station gets too
weak for listening.

will be turned off.
