System) is a system where radio stations transmit digital data for FM broad-
casts along with the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers designed for

various functions such as automatic display of the station name.
RDS Functions help you:
Search for programs of a specific type using Program Type Identifica-
tion Search (PTY search).
Search for a station automatically when you select the station name.
