Radio Data System (RDS):

RDS stands for Radio Data System, and is a data information service transmitted by some radio stations on the FM band (not AM band) encoded within a regular radio broadcast.

Currently, most RDS stations are in large cities, but many stations are now considering broadcasting RDS data.

RDS can display:
- Station call sign, such as “WHFR 98.3”.

- Station name, such as “The Groove”.

- Music or programming type such as “Classical”, “Country” or “Rock”.

- Traffic reports about delays or construction.

If the station broadcasts RDS information, the RDS icon is displayed.

Frequency ↔ PS (Programme Service)/PTY (Programme type) In the FM radio mode, pushing the DISP button will switch the frequency display to the PTY display (if available), and if the DISP button is not pushed again within 5 seconds, it will automatically switch to the PS display. If PTY is not available, pressing the DISP button will only switch between the frequency display and the PS display.
