Change-over to regional program (REG, )
At certain times some national radio stations broadcast regional
program. It is possible to pre-tune these station by pressing button
REG/AF shortly. The display shows REG . Automatically after 5
seconds or by pressing any button the display shows the
frequency indication or the name of the chosen program. If you
want to continue to receive the particular regional program, you are
tuned in to keep the function on.
If the frequency changes, the radio will only react to those stations
with this regional program. You can switch off the function again by
pressing button REG/AF shortly.
You can change to regional function again by pressing REG/AF
buttons shortly. The function is confirmed by the word REG on
the display.
If you have memorized manually any station the mode of the REG-
function(turned on/off)is also memorized.
Example
: A chain of radio transmitters is transmitting a music
program nationally and a different program(a
commentary)regionally at the same time. If the REG-
function is not on, it may be that the radio switches
from the preset regional spoken program to the
nationally transmitted music program if the frequency
is changed(AF-function) because of poor reception. If
the REG-function is on however, the radio will
automatically search for only those stations which are
transmitting the same regional program originally
selected. It is impossible for the radio to switch to
another national station.
AF(network following) reception (AF, )
This unit returns to the stronger alternative transmitter in the list of
alternative frequencies(AF). The display indicates AF as
confirmation on the display. Thus a motorist can keep listening to
the same program.
Example
:If there are the following network broadcasting
stations, The reception frequency automatically
changes from 98.5MHz to 107.5MHz or 96.0MHz to
102.5MHz, but a motorist can keep listening to the
same program while driving from point A to point B.
