To display RDS information
RDS (radio data system) is a multiplex broadcasting system where,
along with FM audio signals, stations transmit other signals to help
you enjoy radio more and tune into programs easier. This unit can
use the following types of signals. Some stations do not have PTY,
EON, and RT.
¡PS (Program service): Station name.
¡PTY (Program type): Displays the program type (a below) and
is used to search for a type of program (a page 25).
¡EON (Enhanced other networks): This signal is used between
networked stations to make it easier for you to tune into a type of
program (a page 25).
¡RT (Radio text): This unit can show up to 64 letters by scrolling
them across the display. This text could be about the song, traffic
or weather, phone-in numbers, or police information.
This unit does not have the emergency broadcasts system (EBS)
that tunes automatically into emergency broadcasts.
