used to search for a type of program (a page 33). See page 35

 

 

 

for more information about the PTY displays.

 

 

 

ÁEON (Enhanced other networks):

 

 

 

This signal is used between networked stations to make it

 

 

 

easier for listeners to tune into a type of program (a page 34).

 

 

 

ÁRT (Radio text):
