18.7 ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES
The list(s) of alternative frequencies give information on the various transmitters broadcasting the same
programme in the same or adjacent reception areas, and enable receivers equipped with a memory to store the
list(s), to reduce the time for switching to another transmitter. This facility is particularly useful in the case of car
and portable radios.
The alternative frequencies (AF) list can be transmitted following two methods: A Method and B Method (see next
page).
In both methods the alternative frequencies lists must contain only the frequencies of the adjacent transmitters
and repeaters with overlapped transmitting areas.
To compile the AF lists use the following procedure:
- Choose one of the 24 lists ( from AF1 to AF8)
- Select the AF from the available frequencies in the left window and
drag & drop it into the AF list
- To remove a frequency from the list follow the procedure drag & drop
to move to ‘recycle bin’ or cancel them by pressing on the ‘Cancel’
button.
A second loading procedure
is provided:
- Click the label of the AF List to be filled (f.i., click AF2 label): it will
turn red
- Double click the frequencies listed on the left window: selected
frequencies will be automatically loaded into the highlighted list.
Lists containing at least one AF are shown in blu color.
