General Information

RDS is the European standard for providing information inaudibly via an FM subcarrier band. The US has adopted a similar standard called the Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS). This feature is not available in the AM or weather modes, however the feature is available when the radio is playing a cassette or CD.

RDS features are only available for use on FM stations which broadcast RDS information. RDS information includes the ability to seek for stations with the type of programming desired, traffic announcements, emergency broadcasts and searches for a stronger station (with the same program type) when a station is too weak for listening.
