Radio Data System (RDS) The Radio Data System allows radio broadcasting stations to send data signals on a subcarrier frequency which is added to the stereo signal. RDS was developed to give FM receivers user-friendly features, such as Program Service name (PS) and Program Type (PTY). Program Service name is typically used by the broadcaster to display the station's name or call letters, for example WNIC . Typically these are 8 characters in length and are displayed by the radio for those stations which are broadcasting this information. PTY (Program Type) is used to characterize the station's program material, for example Rock Music . PTY (Program Type) Button Pressing this button once will turn on the PTY mode for 5 seconds. If no action is taken during the 5 second time out the PTY icon will turn off. Pressing the PTY button within 5 seconds will allow the program format type to be selected. Many radio stations do not currently broadcast PTY information. Toggle the PTY button to select the following format types: Program Type Adult Hits Classical Classic Rock College Radio Display Adlt Hit Classicl Cls Rock College 4
