Traffic Program (TP)
TP identifies programs that carry traffic announcements.
This allows you to easily find out the latest traffic conditions in your
area before leaving home.
Radio Text (RT)
RT allows RDS stations to send text messages that appear on the
display.
• When the station currently tuned in is offering a radio text message
service, the message appear on the display.
• When the RT mode is turned on while an RDS radio station not
offering an RT service is tuned in, "NO TEXT" is displayed on the
display, then the mode automatically switches to the PS mode.
• In the same way, the mode automatically switches to the PS mode
when the RT service is finished. In this case, the mode automatically
switches from the PS mode back to the RT mode when an RT
broadcast is resumed.
• The RT mode cannot be set in the AM band or for FM stations not
offering RDS broadcasts.
