Using RDS

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. RDS is approved by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is available in North America.

Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to dis- playing text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).

This product supports the following types of RDS infor- mation: Program Service Name (PS), Radio Text (RT), and Program Type (PTY).
