Radio Data System (RDS)
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a system in which inaudible digi-
tal information is transmitted in addition to the normal FM radio pro-
gram. RDS offers several useful features, the followings are avail-
able on your radio.
Program Service (PS) name
The Program Service name is a text usually consisting of not more
than eight alphanumeric characters. It indicates information about
the program being broadcast. A station name or an abbreviation is
shown in the display instead of the tuned frequency (Example: BBC
R4).
Enhanced Other Network (EON)
Additional information about other programs within the same net-
work is transmitted when your broadcasting station is using an
Enhanced Other Network. You will hear traffic flashes of other pro-
grams within the network automatically if the Traffic Announcement
function is switched on.
Traffic Information System
The Traffic Program identification (TP) indicates which RDS sta-
tions provide Traffic information. The Traffic Announcement identi-
fication (TA) indicates Traffic information is being broadcast. When
TA is received, the
3
symbol will flash in the display.
