RDS Station ID

With the help of RDS (Radio Data System) you can show the name of the station you are currently listening to as well as the station names of all other presets.

The RDS function is set to active by default, shown by the dark blue RDS icon at the left of the menu. In this mode, all station names will be visible both on the OSD menu as well as on the Information Display on the front panel.

If the RDS function on the left side of the menu is inactive (light blue), you will only see the frequen- cy of the current preset shown in the menu and on the front panel display. The Station Name line on top of the menu will disappear, but the name of all other stations preset will keep in the list.
