L
Programme Type (PTY)
This has two functions; to
display current station
programme type and to select a
programme type and re-tune to
it.
Momentarily press the PTY button to
display the current station programme
type. Use the tuning buttons to cycle
through the available programme types,
press the PTY button again to activate a
search for the selected programme type.
If there is a station with the correct PTY
then the radio will re-tune to it. If not, the
radio will indicate NO PTY and return to
the current station.
Priority programme type
Functions as an interrupt or as a ‘PTY
Following’.
Press and hold the PTY button to activate
the selected priority programme type,
PPTY. The radio will now wait for RDS
information to indicate that a station has
changed its programme type, e.g. to
NEWS. The radio will now re-tune to the
new station for the duration that it remains
on that programme type.
If the current station is already on the
selected priority programme type, then
when this station is lost, the radio will
attempt to find another with the correct
programme type.
To cancel priority programme type, press
and hold the PTY button, the PTY
indicator will clear from the display.
Note: TA and PPTY interrupt feature is
also available in tape, CD/MD audio
modes.
TA and priority PTY interrupt skip
Interruptions for Traffic Announcements,
NEWS or other selected priority PTY, can
be skipped by pressing TA during the
interrupt. The radio returns to the
previously selected audio source.
Note:
•
Interrupt skip will not cancel activation
of TA or PPTY and it will remain ready
for the next interrupt.
•
TA, PTY and PPTY features are reliant
upon the broadcast information from
radio stations, and may be much
better in some areas than others.
PTY31-Alarm (where broadcast)
When using the radio with RDS selected,
a PTY31-Alarm service will operate, to
alert on any crises of major national
importance. When such a broadcast is
made, ALARM will appear in the audio
display.
