MartynS Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The amount of text that DAB can transmit is limited, and from a quick google it seems to be 128 characters. I recall mine ending mid-word sometimes but I never bothered counting how many characters were there lol. If it's filling the screen on the other hand the up/down arrows on the unit should scroll through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod_FOC Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Scrolling text is considered a driver distraction so many car radios do not permit it to happen by design... RDS RadioText (RT) is 64 characters (an updated RDS 2.0 being proposed will allow 128 ). DAB Dynamic Labelling Segment (DLS) - the equivalent to RDS RT - is indeed 128 characters. Now I know that some stations generate the text labels by automated means - which may mean they are poorly edited at times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
