RDS radio services
| RDS radio services |
| General |
As well as receiving FM broadcasts with RDS, the RDS radio also allows use of the following radio services:
| • |
TA/TP for traffic news;
|
|
| • |
PTY for programme type selection;
|
|
| • |
EON - for NF, TA, TP and RDS data on the closest stations;
|
|
| • |
REG - for reception of local radio stations.
|
|
| TA/TP (Traffic Announcement/Traffic Programme) |
TA/TP is a function for receiving traffic news with RDS reception. The normal transmission/audio source is interrupted and the traffic news given.
The volume level for traffic news is programmable.
| PTY (Program TYpe) |
PTY is an RDS function for receiving programmes in the FM band which are coded by programme type. With PTY reception, the normal transmission/audio source is interrupted and the selected programme type heard.
| EON (Enhanced Other Network) |
EON ensures that the traffic news is received over station limits, i.e., if a traffic message is broadcast by one station while RDS reception of another station is in progress, the message will still be received.
EON is a function that automatically updates the current RDS station for best reception. This means that if, for instance, RDS reception of a station is updated during a journey, other RDS stations will also be updated for best reception at the same time.
| REG (Regional) |
REG is a function which can be used to receive a preprogrammed local radio station, i.e., to lock on to a local radio station without RDS changing the station in search of better signal quality.
