Notes
• The available Radio Data System information types vary
depending on the station.
• If the FM Radio Data System station's signal transmission is
too weak, this unit may not be able to receive Radio Data
System information completely. In particular, RT (Radio Text)
information uses a lot of bandwidth, so it may not be available
even when other modes are selectable.
