After a few minutes, up to 40 RDS stations are preset in order from channel “01”.

Stations already stored in the preset memory may be replaced by RDS stations. (i.e., If the RDS AUTO MEMORY function detects 15 RDS stations, the stations currently preset at numbers 01~15 will be replaced by the RDS stations.)

Tuning by Program TYpe (PTY search)
