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.
