This feature automatically tunes the receiver to an alternate station when the signal quality of the currently tuned station falls below an acceptable level. Press ALT-AF in order to enable or disable the AF mode. If preset RDS stations are still available, the receiver tunes in a station. If the radio does not obtain a signal, the radio performs the PI seek.
Program type (PTY) information identifies a station by the following types of program format:
• | TALK |
• | NEWS |
• | ROCK |
• | Other program format |
The format type, used in conjunction with the seek and scan, allows seek or scan only of the stations with the selected format. For domestic receivers, the US RDS standard allows for the transmission of an optional program type name (PTY-N). If the radio has the PTY-N feature, then the program type may be defined more specially using an eight-character identifier. This sort of identification is not used in the search process, but is displayed after the receiver stops on a station with the entered PTY category.
