next item in the sequence. The
information available will vary with the
band in use and the availability of

before the time display will appear.

fault with either the unit or broadcast
station.

into the preset memories. The

the RDS system for FM broadcasts
and is confirmed by illumination of
the RDS indicator on the display
panel. When the unit is in the RDS
mode and is tuned to a station
transmitting RDS data, the station’s

system is turned on and RDS data is
present will cause the tuner to
automatically scan up to six
alternative frequencies for the same
network or service tuned. It will then
