are in large cities, but many stations are
now considering broadcasting RDS data.
RDS can display:
cStation call sign, such as ªWHFR 98.3º.
cStation name, such as ªThe Grooveº.
cMusic or programming type such as
ªClassicalº, ªCountryº, or ªRockº.
cTraffic reports about delays or construc-
tion.

the RDS icon is displayed. The RDS infor-
mation will be displayed according to the
option chosen in the RDS setup mode. (FM
