Radio Data System – RDS
RDS is a system that links together specific
network transmitters. It is used, for example,
to tune the correct frequency of a station irre-
spective of the transmitter or the active audio
source (e.g. CD). The system can also be
used for receiving traffic information and for
finding broadcasts of a specific type. Radio
text is also a component of RDS. A radio sta-
tion can, for example, transmit information
about the radio programme currently being
broadcast.
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
use a limited range of its features.
PI seek (automatic search for
stations)
When listening to an RDS transmitter, various
information, such as traffic information, is
stored in the radio.
When a preset RDS transmitter is later se-
lected, the radio updates the transmitter’s
RDS information. If the radio is at the bound-
ary or just outside of the transmitter’s range,
the radio automatically seeks the strongest
possible transmitter of that channel.
If there is no audible transmitter, the radio
quiets and the
PI SEEK appears in the dis-
play until the station is found.
Traffic information – TP station
Traffic information from RDS stations inter-
rupts other sound sources. The message is
heard at the volume set for this specific fea-
ture. As soon as the message ends, the au-
dio system returns to the previous sound
source and volume setting.
