Enhanced Other Networks (EON)
The RDS tuner has EON facility, which offers the ability for local stations to ‘break into’ a national station’s broadcast for the duration
of a Traffic Announcement. EG: When listening to a BBC national station, such as BBC Radio 3, EON will tell the radio about any traffic
bulletins being broadcast by BBC stations in the local area.
The radio would switch to the local BBC radio station for the travel bulletin, then back to the national station when the bulletin
had finished. For example, when travelling through Manchester whilst BBC Radio 2 is tuned-in, the radio will switch to BBC Radio
Manchester for any travel bulletins, with the TA function switched on.
This facility is not available in all countries or regions
Traffic Announcement (TA)
The radio display can show if the station broadcasts travel information.
The Traffic Announcement (TA) feature allows interruption of a CD or cassette tape
when there is a travel report from the radio station that is currently tuned-in. The
radio will automatically switch from CD or USB to the radio for the duration of the
travel announcement.
For the TA feature to work the function marked TA must be switched on.

Alternative Frequency (AF)
If RDS is enabled the radio will retune to a different frequency when the current
signal becomes too weak, assuming an alternative frequency is available for the
station. For this to happen, the AF function must be switched on. Sometimes the
radio will keep trying to find a stronger signal for the station.
This can become distracting as the radio retunes itself, but can be overcome by
switching the AF function off.
