RDS
When driving in an area where the signal strength drops, the tuner
automatically uses PI (Programme Identification) and AF codes to retune to
the same programme with a stronger signal from another RDS station in the
network. By utilizing these codes, you can continue to listen to the same
programme in its finest condition, no matter where you drive. (See illustration.)
• When the RDS station to which you are tuned does not provide AF data or
the unit is unable to receive AF data for any reason, Network-Tracking
reception will NOT operate even when the signal strength drops below the
reference level.
