What is RDS?

Many FM stations now transmit RDS signals which contain additional information. RDS provides you with various services so that you can choose a station broadcasting your favorite categories of music or other infor- mation. The information below is available through the R-801A.

PS: Program Service Name

RT: Radio Text

If the current station you are listening to is not an RDS station, only the frequency of the station and the characters (see page 34) appear. (If no characters have been entered, only the frequency information will appear.)

When RT is received, it can sometimes take between a few seconds and 15 seconds (more or less) to display.

Sometimes the following messages will be shown on the display.

WAIT: This message indicates that it requires more time to receive the RT information. When the information is received, the char- acters will scroll across the display.

Note

If radio signals are weak, RDS may not be received.

NO TEXT: This message appears for three seconds and indicates that even though an RDS station is being received, the signal does not contain RT information.
