USING THE RDS FUNCTIONS
8
9. AF(network following) reception (AF, 9)
This unit returns to the stronger alternative transmitter in the list of
alternative frequencies(AF). The display indicates “AF” as
confirmation on the display. Thus a motorist can keep listening to
the same program.
Example :If there are the following network broadcasting stations,
The reception frequency automatically changes from
98.5MHz to 107.5MHz or 96.0MHz to 102.5MHz, but a
motorist can keep listening to the same program while
driving from point A to point B.
The AF-function is only possible with FM. To select AF-function
switch to FM and press the button AF/REG for about 1.5 seconds.
After the radio has tuned into an RDS transmitter it will automatically
find the best transmitter in the particular chain of transmitters as
soon as reception starts to get worse, using the PI and AF code
systems, as long as you are still driving within the areas of the
particular areas.
The display shows the indication “AF” on the display.
Sometimes it may seem that the radio has gone off for a short
while. There is no fault-the radio is merely checking the quality or
other signals on the AF-list. If muting disturbes turn off the AF-
function.
When the radio switches over to an alternative frequency, it will go
quiet for a moment because it first has to check out the accuracy of
the PI data for the new frequency.
If you leave a reception area and there is no alternative AF
frequency, the PS data stay in the memory and are deleted only
when you start searching for a station.
If you have memorized manually any station, the mode of the AF-
function (turned on/off)also memorized.
