RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS stands for Radio Data System, and is
a data information service transmitted by
some radio stations on the FM band (not
AM band) encoded within a regular radio
broadcast. Most RDS stations are currently
in large cities, but many stations are now
considering broadcasting RDS data.
RDS can display:
cStation name or call-sign, such as
``WHFR 98.3''.cMusic or programming type such as
``Classical'', ``Country'', or ``Rock''.
cTraffic reports about delays or construc-
tion.

cSHOW NAME - Station name or call-
sign.
cSHOW NONE - No text display.

RDS/CLK button until TRAFFIC OFF is dis-
played, the use then SEL button to choose
TRAFFIC ON, then use the seek or scan

previously tuned into displays a traffic bul-
letin the radio will pause the cassette or
compact disc and broadcast the bulletin,
then resume playing the cassette or com-
