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.
