OVERVIEW OF THE RDS FUNCTION
Radio Data System (RDS) is a
broadcasting service that allows FM
stations to send additional digital
information along with the regular radio
program signal. Your car stereo offers
you a variety of services. Here are just
a few:
- PI (Program identification)
It is a code that identifies RDS stations;
it is unique for each station.
- PS (Program Service Name)
The name of the current station.
- AF (Alternative Frequencies List)
The list(s) of Alternative Frequencies
give information on the various
transmitters broadcasting the same
program in the same or adjacent
reception area. If the main frequency
should get worse, the radio will tune
automatically to the strongest
Altemative frequency.
- TP (Traffic Program)
If the tuned program broadcasts traffic
announcements, the TP indicator will
turn on.
- TA (Traffic Announcement)
When an actual traffic bulletin is on
air, the TA indicator will also turn on.
- PTY (Program Type Codes)
This code is used to designate the
current program material being
broadcast. With this feature, you can
search the programs that match the
selected program type, which is
chosen from a specific list of types.
