RDS (Radio Data System) OPERATION

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 broad-
cast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS serv-
ice, the RDS will appear and the station name 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 an-
nouncement is being broadcast.
EON will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other Networks
information) data is being broadcast.
The PTYI (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the
Dynamic PTY station is being received.
RT (Radio Text) will appear whilst the Radio text data is being
broadcast.
Note:
When the TP and TA appear at the same time, an announce-
ment is being made.
When only the TA appears, an announcement is not being
made (see page 30).
