Storing RDS stations with the AF and TA setting

If you preset manually, you can preset both RDS and non-RDS stations with the AF/TA setting for each.

Receiving emergency announcements

With AF or TA on, the emergency announcements will automatically interrupt the currently selected source.

Tip

If you adjust the volume level during a traffic announcement, that level will be stored into memory for subsequent traffic announcements, independently from the regular volume level.
