An introduction to RDS
Radio Data System (RDS) is a system used by most FM radio
stations to provide listeners with various kinds of
information—the name of the station and the kind of show
they’re broadcasting, for example.
One feature of RDS is that you can search by type of program.
For example, you can search for a station that’s broadcasting
a show with the program type, JAZZ.
You can search the following program types:
Note
In addition, there are three other program types, ALARM,
ALARMTST, and NO TYPE. ALARM and ALARMTST are
used for emergency announcements. NO TYPE appears
when a program type cannot be found.
Searching for RDS programs
You can search for a program type listed above.
1
Press TUNER then press BAND to select the FM band.
• RDS is only possible in the FM band.
2
Press PTY.
SEARCH shows in the display.
3
Press PRESET +/– (or
/
) to select the program type
you want to hear.
4
Press ENTER to search for the program type.
The system starts searching through the station presets for a
match, stopping when it was found one. Repeat to search for
other stations.
If NO PTY is displayed it means the tuner couldn’t find that
program type at the time of the search.
• RDS searches station presets only. If no stations have
been preset, or if the program type could not be found
among the station presets NO PTY is displayed. FINISH
means the search is complete.
Displaying RDS information
Use the DISP button to display the different types of RDS
information available.
Press DISP for RDS information.
Each press changes the display as follows:
• Listening mode
•Master volume
• Radio Text (RT) – Messages sent by the radio station. For
example, a talk radio station may provide a phone number
as RT.
• Program Service Name (PS) – The name of the radio
station.
•Program Type (PTY) – This indicates the kind of program
currently being broadcast.
• Current tuner frequency (FREQ)
Note
• If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll,
some characters may be displayed incorrectly.
If you see NO TEXT in the RT display, it means no RT data
is sent from the broadcast station. The display will
automatically switch to the PS data display (if no PS data,
NO NAME is displayed).
• In the PTY display, NO PTY may be shown.
