Abstract (en)

An RDS receiver which automatically selects the highest one in broadcast signal field strength of a plurality of radio stations broadcasting one and the same program according to AF codes corresponding to the radio stations included in RDS data in a radio data system. In the RDS receiver, one of the plurality of radio stations broadcasting one and the same program is automatically selected by a CPU (4), according to the AF codes included in the RDS data which are received by an FM tuner section (1). Before this automatic selecting operation, it is detected whether or not the broadcast signal of an AF code radio station being received suffers from adjacent frequency interference by an RDS decoder (5), and a value of the S meter signal of the AF code radio station is forcibly zeroed by a transistor (Q) when the RDS decoder (5) detects that the broadcast signal of the AF code radio station suffers from adjacent frequency interference. <IMAGE>
