COMAND searches for stations which
can be received. The available stations
are automatically stored in the preset
positions.
COMAND is equipped with an RDS fre-
quency diversity system in the FM wave-
band. The system consists of a listening
receiver and a searching receiver.
The searching receiver constantly scans
the FM waveband and collects data from
all the stations which can be received, e.g.
reception quality and RDS data such as
programme name and alternative frequen-
cies. COMAND stores the data and con-
stantly updates the preset memory. The
listening receiver is therefore able to
switch instantaneously to an alternative
frequency with a better signal.
i
The frequency diversity system only func-
tions for stations which transmit RDS data.
Switching RDS frequency diversity on
or off
i
You can prevent COMAND from switching
between different regional frequencies for the
same station by switching off RDS frequency di-
versity.
