Tuning operation Receiving RDS stations RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system employed by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various information, such as PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), etc.
1 Frequency display mode 2 PS mode 3 PTY mode FREQ PS/ PTY/RT/CT RANDOM 4 RT mode 5 CT mode Notes • RDS data service cannot be used if the received signal is not strong enough. The RT (Radio Text mode) especially needs much data to be received, so it may occur that RT mode cannot be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.
