RDS (Radio Data System) 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 tuning 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:
Provides the information about the types of the programs
sent by other RDS stations.
More about RDS
• Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.
• RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS
services in your area, check with local radio stations.
