WHAT IS RDS?

System (RDS) function on the FM waveband permits: - automatic retuning to alternative frequencies carrying the samestation while travelling through different regions (if the transmittersgqyggqyg
of this station cover the area through which you are travelling),gg g(gg g(
- temporary tuning to traffi c information announcements,
- display of the name of the station, etc...
Most FM stations use RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible data in addition to their programmes. The data transmitted in this way allows you access to variousfunctions, mainly displaying of the name of the station, temporary yyyy
tuning to traffi c information announcements or automatic retuning to y pyg p yy pyg p
alternative frequencies.gg
RDS allows you to continue listening to the same station automatically by means of alternative frequencies. However, alternative frequencies yg yyg
may not be provided throughout the country. Radio stations do not yq qqq
cover the whole country, which explains the loss of reception of the yp g ypg y
station during a journey. y
