services and automatic retuning functions for RDS-compatible car stereos.
In 1988, RDS became available in the United Kingdom, France, West Germany, Ireland and
Sweden. Test transmissions are being conducted in many other European countries. It is
expected that RDS will be available in most western European countries in the near future.
