some situations, you may get improved reception by turning stereo off. The stereo

FM RDS (radio data system)
RDS is a means for FM radio stations to transmit data along with their program-
ming. Not all FM stations employ RDS, but the ones that do typically transmit the
station name, the station type, the song artist and title when playing music, and
occasionally the time. When RDS is present, the RDS icon on the display is shown
and the RDS data information appears at the bottom of the display. Use the INFO
button to cycle through the RDS data options. This radio supports the following RDS
