RDS (Radio Data System) OPERATION
Receiving FM Stations with RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations are now providing. It allows these FM stations to
send additional signals along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and
information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provide the RDS service, the RDS will appear, the station frequency (and then the
station name if sent) is displayed.
The TP (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic announcements, and the
TA (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic announcement is being received.
EON will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other Networks information) data is being broadcast.
Note:
When the TP and TA appear at the same time, an announcement is being made.
When only the TA appears, an announcement is not being made.
