SEARCHING WITH THE HELP OF
RDS CODES
Each RDS station identifies the type of program (PTY®) which it
is currently broadcasting. You can specify a PTY so that the unit
can automatically detect a suitable station from the preset
stations.
In addition, the EON" (Enhanced Other Networks) service works
in some areas, so that searching is much faster.
