ABOUT RDS
The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The C 426 supports two RDS modes, program-service name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT mode). Not every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal. In most areas you will find from one to several RDS-enabled stations, but it is by no means impossible that your favorite stations will not be broadcasting RDS data.
VIEW RDS TEXT
When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, the station’s program-service name (PS) will be shown in the VFD (i.e., “ROCK 101”) and a “RDS” symbol will also be illuminated.
Press the [DISPLAY] key to toggle the readout between this and the station’s radio-text (RT) readout, if any, which might scroll song or artist name, or any other text of the station’s choosing.
