Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic mess-
ages for their service area at regular inter-
vals.
All traffic programme stations transmit a spe-
cial carrier signal alongside their program-
mes, which is decoded by your car radio. If
this signal is identified, “TP” will appear in the
display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic pro-
grammes themselves, but by using RDS-
EON they offer the possibility to receive the
traffic messages broadcast by another traffic
programme station in the same radio net-
work. If you listen to one of these stations
(e.g. NDR3), “TP” will appear in the display
as soon as the priority for traffic programme
stations has been activated, i.e. “TA” must be
displayed.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the
radio will automatically switch to the linked
traffic programme station (in this case,
NDR2) for the duration of the message and
return to the original programme (NDR3)
afterwards.
Traffic announcement priority
on/off
If the priority for traffic announcement pro-
grammes is activated, “TA” will light up in the
display.
