ABOUT RDS

The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital
information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The C 446 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.
When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, the VFD will show its
program-service name (PS) text 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.
