Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide.
These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme
signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of pro-
gramme such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed.
"TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast car-
ries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic
information is on air (see page 24).
"EON" will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other Networks information) data is
broadcast.
"PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is
received.
"RT" (Radio Text) will appear whilst the unit receives the Radio text data.
"CT" (Clock Time) will appear whilst the unit receives the RDS CT data.
You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the main unit only.
