Using RDS (UK model only) Radio Data System, or RDS as it's usually known, is a system used by FM radio stations to provide listeners with various information--the name of the station and what kind of show they're broadcasting, for example. RDS allows you to search through stations automatically using this information. It shows up as text on the display, and you can switch between the type of information shown. Although you don't get RDS information from all FM radio stations, you do with most. This unit lets you display three different kinds of RDS information: Radio Text, Program Service Name, and Program Type. Radio Text (RT) is a message sent by the radio station.
