Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON
The abbreviation “EON” stands for En-
hanced Other Networks, which means that
information is exchanged within a radio net-
work.
Many FM radio stations provide their serv-
ice area with traffic messages at regular in-
tervals.
Along with their programmes, all traffic pro-
gramme stations transmit a special carrier
signal, which is decoded by your car radio.
If this signal is identified, “TP” will appear in
the display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON
it is possible for them to forward the traffic
messages broadcast by another traffic
programme station in the same radio net-
work.
If you want to have the priority for traffic
announcements activated while listening to
one of these stations (e.g. NDR4), “TA” must
appear on the display panel.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the
radio will automatically switch to the linked
traffic programme station (in this case,
NDR2) for the duration of the message and
return to the original programme (NDR4)
afterwards.
