When the program is over, “EON END” appears on the display, and the indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the EON function still remains activated.
More about the EON function
•The EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this unit. In this case, the EON function may not work correctly.
•While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same EON data.
