■ What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of

the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available
in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these
days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can
also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport,
rock, etc.).
