RDS uses PI (programme identification) signal and AF (alter-
native frequency) list transmitted in addition to the normal FM
broadcasting programmes, and picks up the FM stations that
are transmitting the same programme from the AF list and
automatically tunes to the station with the strongest signal
intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one programme in, for
example, a long distance driving without retuning to the other
station transmitting the same programme when you are leaving
the service area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception of the pro-
gramme types, the break-in reception of the traffic announce-
ment to the EON (enhanced other network) and emergency
broadcast, and the limited/unlimited reception of the regional
programmes.
AF (Alternative Frequencies) function
The AF function finds a station broadcasting the same pro-
gramme and selects the station with the strongest signal of AF
lists.
The AF function is turned on at all times unless you manually
switch it off.
The AF function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to "Function setup mode" on page 5-52.
CT (Clock Time) function
The clock can be set automatically by using the signal from the
local RDS stations. Refer to "Digital clock" on page 5-74.
REG (Regional) function
REG function limits to receive the stations broadcasting
regional programmes.
Regional programming and regional networks are organsied
differently depending on the country or area (they may be
changed according to the hour, state, or broadcast area), so if
you don't want to receive the regional programmes automati-
cally, you can set up REG ON not to receive regional pro-
grammes.
The REG function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to "Function setup mode" on page 5-52.

RDS broadcasts are classified according to programme type
(PTY) as follows. Use the TUNE switch (6) to select your
