Searching for a Programme Type
One of the most useful features of RDS is the ability to search for a particular kind of
radio programme. You can search for any of the programme types listed on page 30—
this covers all kinds of music, as well as news, weather forecasts, sports programmes,
and a variety of others.
1 Press DISPLAY and select PTY SEARCH.
Press DISPLAY repeatedly to switch between the options, then press SET.
2 Select the programme type.
Use the $ and › buttons to change the programme type; select one by
pressing SET.
The complete list is on the previous page.
3 The tuner starts searching for a matching
station.
The tuner searches through the FM stations stored in the station memories.
If the tuner finds a matching programme type, the tuner plays 5 seconds of
the station. To listen to that station, press
SET. (The tuner stops searching.)
If you don't press
SET during the 5 seconds, the tuner resumes the search.
Cancel the search by pressing &.
