Also, if a traffic announcement or programme type is broadcast from an RDS station, no matter what mode you are in, this broadcast is received. Additionally, if EON information is received, this information enables automatic switching of other preset stations on the same network and interruption of the station being received with traffic information from other stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas. When using the RDS function, always set the radio to FM mode. AF : Alternative Frequency PS : Programme Service Name PTY : Programme Type EON : Enhanced Other Network TP : Traffic Programme
