AF - SEEKING ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCIES
Within the RDS system the radio can
work in two different modes:
– AF ON: alternative frequency
search on;
– AF OFF: alternative frequency
search off.
When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two cas-
es may occur:
– With AF ON the RDS system ac-
tivates automatic tuning of the opti-
mum frequency of the station chosen,
with the stations enabled, therefore
the radio is automatically tuned to the
station with the strongest signal that
is broadcasting the same programme.
During the journey it will thus be pos-
sible to continue listening to the sta-
tion chosen without having to change
the frequency when changing area. Of
course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the car
is crossing.
