About RDS broadcasting(Optional)

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 programme
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.
• TA (Traffic Announcement) : When this symbol flashes
it shows that the traffic announcement is in progress.
RDS may not operate correctly if the station
tuned is not transmitting RDS signal properly
or if the signal strength is weak.
