PI SOUND/MUTE
Device reaction when a transmission area is reached where 2 different stations with different programme
identification (PI) are transmitting the same AF (alternative frequency):
PI SOUND >> The device switches to the new station for a few seconds and then back.
PI MUTE >> The new station is muted.
•
RETUNE S/L
Reaction of the device when the traffic announcement ID is lost:
RETUNE S >> When the radio does not receive traffic announcements any more, the auto-scan starts 30 seconds
later.
RETUNE L >> When the radio does not receive traffic announcements any more, the auto-scan starts 90 seconds
later.
•
MASK DPI/ALL
Device reaction during channel search:
MASK DPI >> Alternative frequencies with different programme information (PI) are not considered.
MASK ALL >> Alternative frequencies with different programme information (PI) and alternative frequencies with a
high signal strength but without RDS information are not considered.
c) Radio Mode
Receiving concept RDS
The abbreviation RDS stands for Radio Data System, i.e. inaudible, additional information codes are transmitted by
the FM RDS station.
With the Renkforce car radio, you have a device that is able to evaluate these coded data that are transmitted by
most of the radio stations.
The following important data is transmitted:
-
Program Identification (PI)
-
Traffic program (TP)
-
Traffic announcement (TA)
- Program Service (PS)
- Alternative Frequencies (AF)
- Program Type (PTY)
- Clock Time (CT)
Program Identification (PI)
This information helps the receiver to identify a station. It enables the radio to differentiate between areas where the
same programme is transmitted. The car radio only switches to a stronger station when the reception grows weaker if
the stronger station transmits the same programme identification.
