Presetting the RDS
Stations with the AF and
TA Data
When you preset the RDS stations, the unit
stores each station's data as well as its
frequency, so you don't have to turn on the AF
or TA function every time you turn in the
preset station. You can select different setting
(AF, TA, or both) for individual preset station
or the same setting for all preset stations.
