Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)

What is the Radio Data

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
programme signal. RDS is available only on FM
stations*.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are
tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly
or if the signal is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they provide the same types 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.
