Choosing the FM MODES

RDS OPERATION

Radio Data System (RDS) transmits station call signs or network information, station program type, text messages about the station or specifics of a musical selection and the time.

Not every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal. In most areas you will find from one to several RDS-enabled stations, but it is by no means impossible that your favorite stations will not be broadcasting RDS data.

RDS MODE OPTIONS

When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, a “RDS” icon will illuminate in the C 715’s VFD.

Toggle [RDS MODE] to show the following:

PROGRAM SERVICE

“Program Service” will blink for about 3 seconds and then the program service name or a station’s name will be displayed. “P S” which stands for “Program Service” will be displayed in the upper left side of the VFD. If there is no program service data, the frequency will be displayed.

In FM mode, the front panel [FM MODE] key is a dual-purpose control. In the normal position, (“STEREO” and “TUNED” icons are illuminated in the VFD) only the stations with a strong signal can be listened to and the noise between stations is muted.

Pressing the [FM MODE] button again (‘STEREO” icon is extinguished; only “TUNED” is illuminated) allows distant and potentially noisy stations to be received. Noise is reduced if the FM station signal level is less than the FM stereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently less noise-prone) though at the sacrifice of stereo effect.

RDS CLOCK TIME

The current time of the day will be displayed as transmitted by the station. It will take 3-5 seconds for the time to appear. In the meantime, the word “RDS CLOCK TIME” will flash in the display. When available, the time is then displayed. Note that the accuracy of the time message is set by the radio station, not by the C 715. “C T” which stands for “Clock Time” will be displayed in the upper left side of the VFD. If there is no time data supplied, “00:00” will be displayed”.

RDS PROGRAM TYPE

Program Type (PTY) allows users to find similar programming by genre. Please find the section below about “PROGRAM TYPE (PTY)” for more information about RDS Program Type.

RDS RADIO TEXT

A Radio Text message containing special information from the RDS station will scroll through the VFD (up to 64 symbols can be displayed). It will take 3 takes seconds for the text message to appear. In the meantime, the word “RDS RADIO TEXT” will flash in the display. When available, the Radio Text is then displayed. “R T” which stands for “Radio Text” will be displayed in the upper left side of the VFD. If no Radio Text is available, the display will show the Program Service.

TRAFFIC ANNOUNCE

When selected, “TRAFFIC ANNOUNCE” will blink for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the C 715 will scan (SEARCH and a blinking “ > ” is displayed) the FM band searching for available traffic announcements. “T A” which stands for “Traffic Announce” will be displayed in the upper left side of the VFD.

“TRAFFIC ANNOUNCE (T A)” mode is switched to Program Service (P S) mode when a traffic program is found. Once a station transmitting traffic program signal is selected, the C 715 will stop searching for traffic program and then switch to “Program Service” mode.
