Receiving FM Stations with Radio
Data System
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.
With the receiver, you can receive the following types of Radio Data System 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 the information about the types of the programs sent by other Radio Data System stations of the different Networks than the one being received.
Notes:
•Radio Data System is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.
•Not all FM stations provide Radio Data System signals, nor do all Radio Data System stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on Radio Data System in your area.
•Radio Data System may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting Radio Data System signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.
Notes:
•If searching finishes at once, “PS,” “PTY,” and “RT” will not appear on the display.
•Some special characters and marks may not be displayed correctly. (The display cannot show accented letters, “A,” for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä, Ã, Á, À, and Â.”)
