Radio Data System (RDS)

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a system in which inaudible

digital information is transmitted in addition to the normal FM radio

program. RDS offers several useful features, the followings are

available on your radio.

Program Service (PS) name

The Program Service name is a text usually consisting of not more

than eight alphanumeric characters. It indicates information about the

program being broadcast. A station name or an abbreviation is

shown in the display instead of the tuned frequency

(Example: BBC R4).

Enhanced Other Network (EON)

Additional information about other programs within the same network

is transmitted when your broadcasting station is using an Enhanced

Other Network. You will hear traffic flashes of other programs within

the network automatically if the Traffic Announcement function is

switched on.

Traffic Information System

The Traffic Program identification (TP) indicates which RDS stations

provide Traffic information. The Traffic Announcement identification

(TA) indicates Traffic information is being broadcast. When TA is

received, the symbol will flash in the display.
