Using the RDS (Radio Data System)
to Receive FM Stations
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their
regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station
names, as well as information about what type of program they
broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the
RDS indicator lights up on the display.
With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS signals:
PS (Program Service)
:
Shows commonly known station
names.
PTY (Program Type)
:
Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text)
:
Shows text messages the station
sends.
Enhanced Other Networks :
See page 21.
Notes:
• RDS is not available for AM broadcasts.
• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not
transmitting RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.
