NEWS BROADCASTS

Some audio units interrupt normal
reception to broadcast news bulletins from
stations on the FM waveband or radio data
system (RDS) and enhanced other
network (EON) linked stations, in the same
way as traffic information is provided.
During news broadcasts, the display will
indicate there is an incoming
announcement. News interrupts are
broadcast at the same preset volume level
as traffic announcements.

ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES

Many programmes that broadcast on the
FM waveband have a programme
identification (PI) code, which can be
recognised by audio units.
If your radio has alternative frequencies
(AF) tuning switched on and you move
from one transmission area to another, this
facility will search for and switch to a
stronger station signal, if one can be found.
Under certain conditions, however, AF
tuning may temporarily disrupt normal
reception.
When selected, the unit continually
evaluates signal strength and, if a better
signal becomes available, the unit will
switch to that alternative. It mutes while
it checks a list of alternative frequencies
and, if necessary, it will search once across
the selected waveband for a genuine
alternative frequency.
