Radio Data System 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.
With the system, you can receive the following types of
Radio Data System signals.
Radio Data System is not available for AM (MW)
broadcasts.
Radio Data System may not operate correctly if the
station tuned is not transmitting Radio Data System
signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.
