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 and music.
When tuned in an FM station which provides the RDS
service, RDS indicator lights in the display window. 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.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks):
Provides the information about the types of the
programs sent by other RDS stations than the one
being received.
More about RDS
• Not all the FM stations provide RDS signals, nor
do all RDS stations provide the same services. If
in doubt, check with local radio stations for
details on RDS in your area.
• RDS may not work correctly if the received
station is not transmitting the signals properly or
if the signal strength is weak.
