RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations pro- vide. These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of programme such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an RDS station, “RDS” and the station name will be displayed. “TP” (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic information, and “TA” (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic information is on air (see page 30).
