Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to Receive FM Stations

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 receiver, 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
