Radio Data System (RDS)
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a system in which inaudible
digital information is transmitted in addition to the normal FM radio
program. RDS offers several useful features, the followings are
available on your radio.
Program Service (PS) name
The Program Service name is a text usually consisting of not more
than eight alphanumeric characters. It indicates information about the
program being broadcast. A station name or an abbreviation is
shown in the display instead of the tuned frequency
(Example: BBC R4).
Enhanced Other Network (EON)
Additional information about other programs within the same network
is transmitted when your broadcasting station is using an Enhanced
Other Network. You will hear traffic flashes of other programs within
the network automatically if the Traffic Announcement function is
switched on.
Traffic Information System
The Traffic Program identification (TP) indicates which RDS stations
provide Traffic information. The Traffic Announcement identification
(TA) indicates Traffic information is being broadcast. When TA is
received, the symbol will flash in the display.
