Finding a PTY Station
PROG (Program) TYPE: This button is used to turn on
and off Program Type (PTY) select. The P
-TYPE icon
will appear on the display and the SELECT LED indicator
next to the SELECT knob will light. The last selected
PTY will appear on the display for five seconds. Turn the
SELECT knob to select the PTY you want to listen to.
Press the SEEK SCAN arrows to find radio stations of the
PTY you want to listen to. The last PTY selected will be
used for seek or scan modes. If a station with the selected
PTY is not found, NOT FOUND will appear on the
display. If both PROG TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio
will search for stations with traffic announcements and the
selected PTY.
To use the PROG TYPE interrupt feature, press and hold
this button until you hear a beep on the PTY you want to
interrupt. An asterisk will appear next to the PTY name,
for example (CLASSICAL*). When you are listening to
a cassette, the last selected RDS FM station will
interrupt play if that selected PTY format is broadcast.
AM FM (Alternate Frequency): Alternate frequency
allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the
same program type. Press and hold AM FM for two
seconds to turn alternate frequency on. AF ON will
appear on the display. The radio may switch to stronger
stations. Press and hold AM FM again for two seconds to
turn alternate frequency off. AF OFF will appear on the
display. The radio will not switch to other stations.
