hat is RDS?
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for pro-
viding information along with FM broadcasts.
This inaudible information provides such fea-
tures as program service name, program type,
traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning
and program type tuning, intended to aid radio
listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired
station.
Note:
• RDS service may not be provided by all stations.
• RDS functions like AF (alternative frequencies
search) and TA (traffic announcement standby) are
only available when your radio is tuned in to an RDS
station.
