Receiving RDS data

RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system
by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this
system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to
the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various types
of information, such as PS (Program Service), PTY
(Program Type), RT (Radio Text), and CT (Clock Time).

not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal
strength is weak.

not all provide the same types of services. The types provided
by the received RDS station are dimmed on the display. Check
with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in
