Blaupunkt RCR 148 Radio operation with RDS Radio Data System, Selecting a waveband

The Radio Data System offers you more convenience when listening to FM radio sta- tions.

More and more radio stations have begun to broadcast RDS information alongside their programmes.

As soon as a programme has been identi- fied, the station name including a regional identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis- play, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro- gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).

When RDS is activated, the preset buttons become programme buttons. You now know exactly which programme you have tuned into, making it easy to find the desired sta- tion quickly.

But RDS offers you further advantages:
