More about RDS
• Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS
stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local
radio stations for details on RDS in your area.
• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not
transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is
weak.
