What is the Radio Data
System?
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
program signal. This tuner offers convenient
RDS features, such as station name display.
RDS is available only for FM stations.*
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned
to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly, or if the
signal strength is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they provide the same type of services. If you are not
familiar with the RDS system, check with your local
radio stations for details on RDS services in your
area.
