RDS uses PI (program identification) signal
and AF (alternative frequency) list trans-
mitted in addition to the normal UKW broad-
casting programs, and picks up the UKW
stations that are transmitting the same pro-
gram from the EON (enhanced other net-
work) and automatically tunes to the station
with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one
program in, for example, a long distance
driving without retuning to other station trans-
mitting the same program when you are
leaving the service area of the currently re-
ceiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited re-
ception of the program types, the break-in re-
ception of the traffic announcement and
H11A344d
emergency broadcast, and the limited/un-
limited reception of the regional programs.
