Radio Data System

Radio Data System (RDS) is a system that links together specific
network transmitters. It is used, for example, to tune the correct
frequency of a station irrespective of the transmitter or the current
audio source (e.g. CD). The system can also be used for receiving
traffic information (TP) and for finding broadcasts of a specific type.
Radio text is also a component of RDS. A radio station can transmit
information about the radio programme currently being broadcast.
Messages with a programme code (such as news from RDS stations)
will interrupt other audio sources at the volume set for this. As soon
as the news broadcast is finished, the audio system returns to the
previous audio source and resumes the previous volume setting.
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only use a limited range of
its features.
