Radio Data System (RDS)
General notes
The Radio Data System (RDS) provides inaud-
ible additional information in the FM wave-
band. The system consists of a listening
receiver and a monitoring receiver.
The monitoring receiver permanently scans
the FM waveband and collects certain data
from all receivable stations. This includes, for
instance, reception quality and RDS data
such as programme names and alternative
frequencies. COMAND Online stores the data
and constantly updates the memory. The
audio receiver is therefore able to switch
automatically to an alternative frequency with
a better signal.
i
RDS only functions for stations which
transmit RDS data.
Switching RDS on/off
You can use the Frequency fix (radio mode) or
Station fix (DAB mode) functions to prevent
COMAND Online from switching between the
alternative frequencies of a station. This is
useful, for example, when the same content is
broadcast with a time delay, or when there is
interference on one of the frequencies.
