Using RDS

Radio Data System (RDS) is a system used by most FM
radio stations to provide listeners with various kinds of
information — the name of the station and the kind of
show they're broadcasting, for example.
One feature of RDS is that you can search by type of
program. For example, you can search for a station that's
broadcasting a show with the program type, Jazz.
You can search the following program types:
News – News
Affairs – Current Affairs
Info – General Information
Sport – Sport
Educate – Educational
Drama – Radio plays, etc.
Culture – National or regional
culture, theater, etc.
Science – Science and
technology
Varied – Usually talk-based
material, such as quiz shows or
interviews
Pop M – Pop music
Rock M – Rock music
Easy M – Easy listening
Light M – 'Light' classical music
Classics – 'Serious' classical
music
Other M – Music not fitting
above categories
Weather – Weather reports
Note
1 In addition, there are three other program types, Test, Alarm, and No Type. Alarm and Test are used for emergency announcements. You
can't search for these, but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal. No Type appears when a program type cannot be
found.
2 • If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.
• If you see No Radio Text Data in the RT display, it means no RT data is sent from the broadcast station. The display will automatically switch
to the PS data display (if no PS data, the frequency is displayed).
• In the PTY display, No Data or No Type may be shown. In this case, the PS display is shown after a few seconds.
3 RDS is only possible in the FM band.
