Receiving FM Stations with RDS

Continued

 

English

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.

With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.

PS (Program Service):

Shows commonly known station names.

CT (Clock Time):

Shows clock time the station sends.

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks):

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

Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY Search)

One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.

For details on the PTY codes, see “Additional Information” on page 23.

To search for a program using the PTY codes

REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use the EON function. If not yet done, see page 11.
