RECEIVING RDS STATIONS
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced 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 information, such as AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc. RDS function is carried out among the network stations. * This unit utilizes AF, PI, PS and PTY to receive RDS broadcast stations.

PS (Program Service station name) mode:
Displays the name of the RDS station now being received instead of the frequency.
