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 to an FM station which provides the RDS service,the RDS
indicator lights up on the display.
Description on RDS function
PTY (Program Type) : Displays the type of programme currently being broadcast
PS NAME (Program Service Name) : Indicates the name of broadcasting station and is com-
posed of 8 characters.
RT (Radio Text) : Decodes the text broadcast by a station (if any) and is composed of maxi-
mum 64 characters.
CT (Clock Time) : Decodes the real time clock from the FM frequency.
Some stations may not transmit PTY, RT or CT information therefore this
may not be displayed in all cases.
TA (Traffic Announcement) : When this symbol flashes it shows that the traffic announcement
is in progress.
