Using the Radio Data System
when receiving FM stations
The Radio Data System 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.
With the system, you can receive the following types of
Radio Data System signals:
• PS (Program Service): Shows commonly known station
names.
• PTY (Program Type): Shows the types of programs
broadcast.
• RT (Radio Text): Shows text messages the station sends.
• Enhanced Other Network: See page 38.
