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 PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY
(Program Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), etc.
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.
* This unit utilizes PS, PTY, RT and CT to receive RDS broadcast stations.
