RadioText Plus or RT+ allows the RDS feature RadioText (RT) to be understood by FM RDS receivers. RT+ is based on RDS RT messages and is backwards compatible with standard RT. It enables FM RDS receivers to recognize designated elements of RadioText messages. Such an element can, for example, be programme-associated metadata such as the Title and the Artist of the currently playing song, or it can be news headlines. This provides the listener with an “mp3-player feeling” while listening to analogue FM radio. The elements can also carry additional service messages or information about the Radio Station such as the telephone number or the web address of the Radio Station’s hotline.
RT+ is based on RDS RT messages and is completely backwards compatible to the RT. All additional information necessary for implementing the RT+ service is carried in the RDS group 3A and in an appropriate RDS ODA group
