Monitoring traffic, news, or information
programmes (EON)
The EON (Enchanced Other Network) function allows
the receiver to switch automatically to a station
broadcasting traffic annoucements, news or
information programmes. When such a programme
starts on a station networking with the preset FM RDS
station, the receiver automatically tunes in the station.
After the programme ends, the receiver switches back
to the original preset station or the programme source
you were originally listening to.
