Radio Data System - RDS
RDS is a system that links specific network
transmitters. It is used, for example, to tune the
correct frequency of a station irrespective of the
transmitter or the active sound 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 station can transmit informa-
tion about the radio programme currently being
broadcast.
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
use a limited range of its features.
PI search (automatic station
search)
When listening to an RDS transmitter, various
information, such as traffic information, is
stored in the radio.
When a preset RDS transmitter is later selected,
the radio updates the transmitter’s RDS
information. If the radio is at the boundary 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 on the display
until the station is found.
