•
Traffic
programme
(TP
Code)
The
TP code informs the radio when a traffic
news
station is being received.
•
Traffic
announcement
(TA
Code)
The
radio
uses
the TA code to recognize a
traffic news announcement. If the radio is
muted or in cassette mode, the radio auto-
matically switches to traffic news an-
nouncements at an easily audible volume.
In EON mode-see next point- theTAcode
of a non-TP station refers the radio to a TP
station of the same network currently
broadcasting an announcement.
• EON (Enhanced
information
|
concerning
Other
Networks)
EON
is an
RDS
function which ensures
that
all
traffic news announcements from a par-
ticular broadcasting company are played.
Larger
broadcasting companies, e.g. NDR
often broadcast different programmes
sim-
ultaneously - e.g. NDR 1, NDR 2, Radio 3
etc.
Regardless
of which station is currently
being listened to, all TP announcements of
the other programmes of the broadcasting
company
are played. |*
Example
The
radio is currently tuned to Radio 3. If a
TP
announcement is made on
NDR2,
the
radio will automatically change frequencies
and
the
NDR2
announcement will be
played.
During this process the letters
"EON"
appear in the display.
At the end of the announcement the radio
switches
back to the original programme
Radio
3.

automatically switch the frequency re-
sponse
