RDS

(Radio data system) is a multiplex broadcasting system.

 

 

Along with the audio signals of FM broadcasts, text information

 

 

 

 

 

 

and other signals are transmitted to help you enjoy radio more and

 

 

 

make tuning into programs easier. This unit can use the following

 

 

 

types of signals.

 

 

 

ÁPS (Program service):

 

 

 

The name of the station can be displayed.

 

 

 

ÁPTY (Program type):

 

 

 

The type of program can be displayed. This signal can also be

 

 

 

used to search for a type of program (a page 33). See page 35

 

 

 

for more information about the PTY displays.

 

 

 

ÁEON (Enhanced other networks):

 

 

 

This signal is used between networked stations to make it

 

 

 

easier for listeners to tune into a type of program (a page 34).

 

 

 

ÁRT (Radio text):

1

 

 

This is text transmitted by the station. This unit can show a

 

 

maximum of 64 characters by scrolling it across the screen. The

 

 

text could be information about the song playing, traffic and

 

 

 

 

 

 

weather reports, phone-in numbers, or police information.

Some areas currently do not have PTY, EON, and RT.
