Frequency Modulation (FM) provides substantially better sound quality than Amplitude Modulation (AM). However, because FM transmissions rely on lineof- sight broadcast waves, their effective reception range is limited.
…
Thanks to specially designed systems, limitations inherent in mobile reception quality have been partially minimized:
The Radio Data System (RDS) transmits information in the FM reception range. RDS stations thus offer the following characteristics:
> The station name will be indicated in the display after the RDS signals have been evaluated
> Additional information can be indicated or called up in the display (e. g. text broadcasts from the station, PTY).
However, the reception of RDS data is only possible under favorable reception conditions. If there is weak or interrupted reception, it can take quite a while before the transmitter name appears in the display.
