Radio Data System Operations

Radio Data System

This unit has a built-in Radio Data System de- coder system that supports broadcast stations transmitting Radio Data System data.

This system can display the name of the broad- cast station being received (PS) and can auto- matically switch to the broadcast station with the best reception as you move long distances (AF switching).

Also, if a traffic announcement or programme type is broadcast from an Radio Data System station, no matter what mode you are in, this broadcast is received. Additionally, if EON in- formation is received, this information enables automatic switching of other preset stations on the same network and interruption of the station being received with traffic information from other stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas. When using the Radio Data System function, always set the radio to FM mode.

AF : Alternative Frequency

PS : Programme Service Name

PTY : Programme Type

EON : Enhanced Other Network TP : Traffic Programme
