Notes

The available Radio Data System information types vary depending on the station.

If the FM Radio Data System station’s signal transmission is too weak, this unit may not be able to receive Radio Data System information completely. In particular, RT (Radio Text) information uses a lot of bandwidth, so it may not be available even when other modes are selectable.
