What is the Radio Data System?

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting

service that allows radio stations to send

additional information along with the regular

programme signal. This tuner offers

convenient RDS features like station name

display and location of stations by

programme type. RDS is available only on

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.
