RDS FM radio stations can transmit their signal at different
frequencies. Your radio automatically chooses the strongest signalfor the selected station. If you are driving through an area with bad
coverage, each automatic retune will result in short breaks in the
audio. In order to avoid this, turn the AF function off.
TTuurrnniinngg AAFF ffuunnccttiioonn oonn//ooffff
Keep the DX/MAN key pressed until the confirmation signal
sounds. The AF function will be alternatively enabled or disabled.
The AF function status is also stored in the memory when a radio
station is stored and will be enabled again when a preset station is
selected.
