From the empeg site:

"FM fuzzy logic autotuning radio, full RDS, RBDS capability"

Excuse me for being dim, but what is RBDS capability?

Cheers,

Paul.

Apparently RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data Standard) is American and RDS is European, but they're the same thing - see the first paragraph of: http://www.azfms.com/About/ITSRD/c9.html

If that is the case, then perhaps the line should have read "...RDS/RBDS capability."

Nick.

Lets worry about getting the auto tuning and RDS first

Agreed, I just didn't even know what it was!

Well, auto-tuning, yes; I have got pretty good RDS support (station title, station comment, track info, clock) that works perfectly here.
