Receiving FM Stations with RDS

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 tuned 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 information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations.

More about RDS

•Some FM and AM (MW) 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.

•RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.
