•Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite programme
•PTY (Program Type) search
•TA (Traffic Announcement) search
•And some other functions
ENGLISH
Tracing the same programme automatically (Network- Tracking Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tune in another RDS station, within the same network broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. (See illustration.)
Two types of the RDS signals are used to make
— PI (Programme Identification) and AF (alternative Frequency) data.
Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network- Tracking Reception will not operate.
