Selecting modes when receiving RDS stations
RDS (radio data transmission system) allows simultaneously with the broadcast signal to transmit additional information signals in digital form: station identification code (PI, Programe Indentification), radio text, time signals, traffic information, etc. Receiving RDS signals allows you to expand the service capabilities of the receiver.
Reception of RDS stations is possible in the VHF2 band (87-108) MHz. The availability of RDS functions depends on the specific radio station.
Switching on the reception of alternative frequencies
If the signal strength of the received radio station becomes weak (e.g. when moving from one area to another), the RDS system allows you to automatically tune in to other RDS stations with better signal strength, broadcasting the same program of the same radio station, but on a different broadcast frequency (alternative frequencies). If there is no radio station with this program on alternative frequencies, the radio remains tuned to the current radio station. Press the AF button* (pic. 19) in the receiver settings window to enable the reception of alternative frequencies. As the signal strength of the received radio station weakens, the receiver will automatically switch to the search mode for the received radio station on an alternative broadcast frequency. To turn off alternative frequency reception, press the AF button again.
