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.
