CHOOSING THE TUNER MODE
The front-panel [TUNER MODE] key is a dual-purpose control. In the normal
position, FM Mute FM Stereo icons on the VFD are illuminated, only the
stations with a strong signal can be listened to, and the noise between
stations is muted.
Pressing the [TUNER MODE] button again (FM Mute FM Stereo icons on the
VFD are extinguished) allows distant and potentially noisy stations to be
received. Noise is reduced if the FM station signal level is less than the FM
Stereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently less noise-prone) though at
the sacrifice of the stereo effect.
NOTE
One can store the same channel in two preset locations - one with
TUNER MODE On and another with TUNER MODE Off.

ABOUT USER NAMES

You can assign an eight character "User Name" to each radio preset, which
will show in the front-panel readout whenever that preset is recalled.

ABOUT RDS

The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital
information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The T 175 supports
two RDS modes, station-name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT mode). Not
every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal. In most areas you
will find from one to several RDS-enabled stations, but it is by no means
impossible that your favorite stations will not be broadcasting RDS data.
VIEW RDS TEXT
When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, after a brief delay the "RDS"
symbol will illuminate in the T 175's front-panel readout and the readout's
character section will show its station-name (PS) text: "ROCK101", for
example.
Press the front-panel INFO key to toggle the readout between this and the
station's radio-text (RT) readout, if any, which might scroll song- or artist-
name, or any other text of the station's choosing.
