RDS-EON Control

This unit is equipped with the latest tech- nology of EON control (Enhanced Other Networks) , this allows the radio to monitor other radio stations for traffic broadcasts, so when you are listening to Radio or CD, and there is a travel announcemnet from a nearby local station, the radio will tune to the frequency of that local radio station. Then it will receive the station, turn up the volume, or interrupt the playback of the mu- sic for the duration of the announcement. At the end of the announcement the radio will return to its previous state ready for the next announcement.
