PTY priority

Situation:
PTY is switched on and lights up in the dis-

No station offering the selected programme
type can currently be received (with seek
tuning or scan).
The set will switch back to the previous sta-
tion.
As soon as a programme with such PTY can
be received within the broadcasting network,
the unit will switch over to the correspon-
ding station for the duration of the program-
me.
Example:
German broadcasting network NDR:
- Station tuned in: NDR3.
- "PTY" lights up in the display.
- Programme type "POP" selected.
- Seek tuning is started.
- No station with "PTY-POP" can be
found.
- The display shows "NO PTY" and
- automatically switches back to NDR3.
- NDR2 airs a "PTY-POP" programme.
- The system will switch to the linked
station NDR2 for the duration of the
"POP" programme.
During tape or CDC operation, the set will
also automatically switch to the programme
offering the selected PTY within the broad-
casting network.
After the PTY programme the system will
remain in the radio mode.
Notice:
As earlier mentioned, these functions are
currently only supported by a limited num-
ber of RDS stations.
