(clock time) when receiving Radio Data System
broadcasting stations.

in the front panel display.
• When RT mode is selected, the system can display the program
information with a maximum of 64 alphanumeric characters,
including the umlaut symbol. Unavailable characters are
displayed with underscores “_”.
