Useful facts like who’s broadcasting, program details, song titles and artist names can be sent. RDS-enabled FM radio receivers, like the one on your GoGEAR player, can then display the information. What’s more, at anytime, you can store the broadcasting station as a preset channel on your GoGEAR. With 30 presets available, you can effortlessly tune in to your favorite radio stations, without having to manually find them each and every time.
