The RDS ( Radio Data System) function is al-

addition to their programming, the radio
stations also transmit RDS information that is
picked up by the RDS receiver in coded form.
The following functions are controlled by the
codes received:
– Program identification (PI code)
The radio is able to identify the station received
by its PI code.
– Program Service Name (PS code)
The PS code communicates the station name
that appears in the radio information display,
e.g. Radio 21.
Because a number of stations use the station
name for advertising purposes, you can select
a fixed name for the station in the “Audio set-

menu field).

e.g. Radio 21, have a limited range of
reception, the programming is transmitted by
several different transmitters on different
frequencies. The AF code communicates all
the frequencies that come into question for the
