RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide.
These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme
signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of pro-
gramme such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed.
"TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast car-
ries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic
information is on air.
"EON" will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other Networks information) data is
broadcast.
"PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is
received.

When you are tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to an RDS station
which sends weak signal, the display will change in the following order:

Frequency

Level meter

Station name (PS)

Frequency

of "TA".
