							About RDS broadcasting
• RDS is not available for AM broadcasts.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to receive FM stations
What information can RDS signals provide?
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For
example,the stations send their station names,as well as information about what  type of program they
broadcast, such as sports or music,etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service,the RDS indicator
lights up on the display.
• Description on RDS function
1. PTY (Program Type) : Displays the type of programme currently being broadcast
2. PS NAME (Program Service Name) :
Indicates the name of broadcasting station
and is composed of 8 characters.
3. RT (Radio Text) :Decodes the text broadcast by a station (if any) and is composed
of maximum 64 characters.
4. CT (Clock Time) :Decodes the real time clock from the FM frequency.• Some stations may not transmit PTY, RT or CT information therefore this may not be
displayed in all cases.
