Under certain conditions, however,
alternative frequencies 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 frequency band for a genuine
alternative frequency.
It will restore radio reception when it finds
one or if one is not found, the unit will
return to the original stored frequency.
When selected, AF will be shown in the
display.

Regional Mode
The regional mode controls the behavior
of switching between alternative
frequencies list of regional networks of a
station. The station can maintain a fairly
wide network coverage over a large part
of the country. At various times of the day
this large network can be separated into
several smaller regional networks, typically
centralized in major cities or areas. When
the network is not divided into regional
variants, the entire network broadcasts the
same programming.
Regional mode ON: This prevents random
alternative frequency switches when
neighboring regional networks are not
carrying the same programming.
Regional mode OFF: This allows a larger
coverage area if neighboring regional
networks are carrying the same
programming, but can cause random
alternative frequency switches if they are
not.
