Thanks to the space missions CoRoT and Kepler new oscillation frequencies have been discovered in the Fourier spectra of Blazhko RR Lyrae stars. The period doubling (PD) yields half-integer frequencies between the fundamental mode and its harmonics. In many cases the first and/or second radial overtone frequencies also appear temporally. Some stars show extra frequencies that were identified as potential non-radial modes. We show here that all these frequencies can be explained by pure radial pulsation as linear combinations of the frequencies of radial fundamental and overtone modes.
