Presetting stations automatically –––

In each band, you can automatically preset 30 FM and 15 AM (MW/LW) stations. Preset numbers will be allocated as stations are found, starting from the lowest frequency and moving up the frequency.

RDS

You can use the RDS (Radio Data System) by using the buttons on the Unit and the Remote Control.

RDS allows FM stations to send additional signals with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and information about what type of programs they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. This Unit can receive the following types of RDS signals:

PS (Program Service):

shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

shows types of broadcast programs.

RT (Radio Text):

shows text messages the station sends.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks):

provides the information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations.
