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.

•RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.
