informa-
tion

station and
to
maximise reception.
The principal
functions
of the
RDS mode
are:
-
Automatic
following
of a station
(AF
function):
The system automatically
chooses the best
reception
signal (frequency) for
the chosen
station.
- Displaying
the name of the
station:
In
the case
of
an

the name
of
the

of
the fre-
quency
