GENERAL DESCRIPTION Today most FM radio stations in Europe and meanwhile also many FM/AM radio broadcasting stations in the USA transmit the inaudible European RDS (Radio Data System) or the USA RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) informations respectively. Likewise nowadays receivers, most car radios and also some home and portable radios on the market include at least some of the RDS features. The RDS/RBDS system offers a large range of applications by its many functions to be implemented. For car ra...
