Clock Time (CT) automatic adjustment
The Clock Time information transmitted from the broadcasting station can
be used for setting and synchronising the clock of your radio automatically.
The Auto-Time function can be enabled or disabled by the user.
Alternative Frequencies (AF)
This feature provides a list of Alternative Frequencies for the station being
received. You can switch to those frequencies directly if desired.
Programme Type (PTY)
This is an identification number transmitted with each programme to
specify the type of the programme being broadcast e.g. NEWS, ROCK,
CLASSIC etc. The PTY number can be used so that search tuning
responds only to the selected programme type.
Radio Text (RT)
Radio Text is a text message of up to 64 characters in length. It is
displayed by scrolling the characters of the message from right to left.
Note: RDS features are available on the FM band only.
