Some RBDS stations broadcast RADIO TEXT, which is additional information on the station and programme being broadcast.
RADIO TEXT information appears as ‘running’ text in the display. RADIO TEXT is transmitted character by the radio station. As a result of that it may take some time until the entire text has been completely received.
