What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed within the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and many European FM radio stations use it these days. The CBX-300 supports and displays Program Service Name (PS) and Radio Text (RT) RDS data.

The RDS indicator appears on the display when the CBX-300 is tuned to an FM station that supports RDS.

Notes:

If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

The message “Waiting” may appear while the RT data is being received.
