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 in to an FM station which provides the RDS service, 
the RDS indicator lights up on the display window.

With the system, you can receive the following types of RDS 
signals:

PS (Program Service):

Shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast programs.

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

Enhanced Other Network: See page 38.

• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting 

RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.
