PTY priority

Situation:

No station broadcasting the selected pro- gram type can be received at this time (by seek or by Scan).

The unit switches back to the previous sta- tion.

As soon as a station broadcasting the se- lected program type can be received within the station chain, the unit switches to this station in radio mode for the duration of the program.

Example:

-Previous station: NDR 3.

-“PTY” on the display

-“POP” selected

-Seek run started

-No station with “PTY-POP” found

-Display shows “NO PTY” and

-Switches back to NDR 3 automatically

-NDR 2 is broadcasting “PTY-POP”

-Unit switches within the station chain to NDR 2 and plays it as long as the station continues to broadcast “POP”.

The unit also switches automatically in MD/ CDC mode to the station broadcasting the selec-ted program type within the transmis- sion chain.

When the PTY program is over, the unit switches back to the source previously se- lected (radio, MD or CDC).

Note:

As already mentioned, these functions are not currently available with all RDS stations.
