Using the RDS Functions
What is RDS?
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for transmitting data along with FM programs. This
data, which is inaudible, provides a variety of features such as: program service name, pro
gram type display, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tun
ing, intended to aid radio listeners in tuning 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 active when your radio is tuned to RDS stations.
