The RDS broadcast system provides additional functionality to FM radio reception by transmitting encoded information along with the radio signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis signal is decoded by an RDS receiver and can provide a range of informational features including a display of the station’s identifying name and\/or call letters, the station’s program content (such as ROCK or NEWS), a scrolling text display for announcements or information (such as the name of the song that's playing), and the current time and date. The RDS button on the included remote control can step through the various displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePlease note that the RDS features are entirely dependent on the broadcaster sending properly encoded signals. Thus, they will only be available in markets where RDS is currently implemented and where stations are broadcasting these data signals.

With a fringe station, it can make all the difference between a broadcast that's pleasant to listen to and one you would rather skip over.

Less signal strength is required for clean mono reception than for stereo reception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"I Am Certainly Very Happy with the Rotel\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"I am a keen FM listener, and I have a Rotel T11.
