Radio Data System (RDS)
RDS is used by many radio stations throughout
Europe. The system provides features such as
Automatic frequency changing (AF) and trigger
signals for Traffic announcements (TA) and News.
Alternative Frequency (AF)
The range for FM stations is quite limited. For this
reason many stations transmit on alternative
frequencies in different areas. By using the AF
function, the driver can listen to such a station
continuously without retuning the radio manually
between the areas.
Some stations transmit different programs in different
areas during some part of the day. To avoid tuning
away from a locally sent program, the AF function can
be set to stay with that program by using AF LOC
(local).
When travelling long distances the reception of a
locally sent program may be lost. In such case, using
the AF REG (regional) will allow the radio to tune to
other transmitters within that station.
When a radio search is performed the first time after
activating AF, the radio creates an internal list of
available stations. An additional search will be done
due to that list, which makes the search faster. The list
is sorted with respect to the stations' RDS codes and
the stations may not be tuned in frequency order in an
AF search.
