PTY priority
-
The system will switch to the linked
NDR2 station for the duration of the
“POP” programme.
Situation:
PTY is switched on and lights up in the dis-
play.
No station offering the selected programme
type can be currently received (neither with
seek tuning nor with scan).
During tape operation, the set will also au-
tomatically switch to the programme offer-
ing the selected PTY within the broadcast-
ing network.
After the PTY programme the system will
remain in the radio mode.
The set will switch back to the previous sta-
tion.
As soon as a programme with such PTY can
be received within the broadcasting network,
the unit will switch over to the correspond-
ing station for the duration of the pro-
gramme.
Notice:
As mentioned earlier, these functions are
currently only supported by a limited number
of RDS stations.
