RDS Radio Data System
RDS transmits additional information in the
FM frequency range. RDS stations have the
following properties:
> In the case of broadcasting networks
that transmit over a number of frequen-
cies, there is an automatic switch to the
frequency with the best reception qual-
ity
> If the reception conditions are good, the
station names are shown on the Control
Display. If the reception is weak or dis-
rupted, it can take some time before the
station names appear.
