The radio has two integrated FM/AM tuners.
One of the tuners is only adjusted for receiving
frequencies from FM/AM stations. The other
tuner is used for setting the frequencies to
receive TP/FM traffic radio stations. This allows
selection of traffic radio messages from a TP
station irrespective of the FM station setting.
Tuner
Example:
You are listening to an FM station, e.g. NDR 2,
which broadcasts supraregional traffic radio
messages. To receive current regional traffic
radio messages, select a TP station e.g.
ANTENNE by pressing the TP button. When the
selected TP station broadcasts traffic radio
messages, they will cut into the current
programme of the FM station the driver is
listening to. This also applies when the driver is
listening to an AM/MW station or the radio is in
CD mode.
If the "TP tuner“ is not being used to receive
TP stations, e.g. TP button OFF, it supports the
"FM tuner“. It checks the alternative frequencies
of an FM station setting to find a better reception
frequency. This makes checking the alternative frequencies
faster and avoids short-term mute pauses caused
by checking.
