RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue listening to the same station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. How ever, in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be assured throughout the country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.
