About RDS broadcasting

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to
receive FM stations
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional
signal along with their regular program signals.
For example, the stations send their station names,
as well as information about what type of program
they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS
service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.
