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
irrespective 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 station can, for example, transmit infor-
mation 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 infor-
mation, 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 in the
display 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
feature. As soon as the message ends, the
audio system returns to the previous sound
source and volume setting.
