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, PS (Program Service) appears and 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.
TEXT (Radio Text):
Shows text messages the station sends.
