About RDS Broadcasting

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.
Description on RDS function
~ PTY (Program Type) : Displays the type of program
currently being broadcast.
~ PS NAME (Program Service Name) : Indicates the
name of broadcasting station and is composed of
8 characters.
~ RT (Radio Text) : Decodes the text broadcast by
a station (if any) and is composed of maximum 64
characters.
~ CT (Clock Time) : Decodes the real time clock from
the FM frequency. Some stations may not transmit
PTY, RT or CT information therefore this may not
be displayed in all cases.
