AF (Alternative Frequencies) REG Function
AF is a function that works with the help of RDS (Radio Data
System) and can only be used with FM stations. The radio
searches in the background for the best frequency reception
of the station that has been tuned into.
If the AF function has been switched on, the radio conti-
nuously tests the signal strength of the AF frequency. The
test interval for each AF frequency depends on the signal
strength of the current station and varies from a few minutes
in the case of a strong signal to a few seconds in the case of
weak signals. Whenever the new AF frequency is stronger
than the station that is currently tuned in, the radio switches to
this frequency for a short time and the message „NEW FRE-
QUENCY" is displayed for one to two seconds. As the mute
time during the frequency change and the test time is very
short, this is almost inaudible during the normal programme.
The AF function is activated by briefl y pressing the A.F but-
ton and the status of the AF function is shown in the display
by an AF symbol.
