Receiving RDS broadcasts

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a

to send additional information along with the
regular programming signal. This tuner offers
convenient RDS features, such as station name

stations.*
* 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.
