RDS Operation
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is
used to send small amounts of digital in-
formation via conventional FM radio broad-
casts. The RDS system standardizes sev-
eral types of information transmitted such
as time, track, artist information, and sta-
tion identification.
RDS-EON Control
This unit is equipped with the latest tech-
nology of EON control (Enhanced Other
Networks) , this allows the radio to monitor
other radio stations for traffic broadcasts,
so when you are listening to Radio or CD,
and there is a travel announcemnet from a
nearby local station, the radio will tune to
the frequency of that local radio station.
Then it will receive the station, turn up the
volume, or interrupt the playback of the mu-
sic for the duration of the announcement.
At the end of the announcement the radio
will return to its previous state ready for the
next announcement.
