Linking between DAB and FM
The function makes it possible to change from an FM or DAB channel with poor or no reception to the same channel in another channel group (ensemble) with better reception, within DAB and/or between DAB and FM. DAB to DAB, DAB to FM, and FM to DAB are all supported. Linking can be activated under Settings in the radio app.
Sorting
When DAB/FM linking is activated, the channel list only contains channels with good reception, and duplicates with poorer reception are removed, irrespective of whether it is an FM or DAB broadcast. When DAB/FM linking is not activated, the DAB channels are at the top in alphabetical order, followed by the FM channels sorted by frequency.
Quick commands
When the app is used, it can also be controlled via quick commands in the home view.
Radio messages
Different types of radio messages, e.g. traffic news and societally important information, can be set under settings in the radio app.

RDS radio

RDS (Radio Data System) means that the radio automatically changes to the strongest transmitter. RDS provides the ability to receive e.g. traffic information and to search for certain programme types.

RDS links FM transmitters into a network. An FM transmitter in such a network sends information that gives an RDS radio the following functions:

  • Switch automatically to a stronger transmitter if reception in the area is poor.
  • Search for program category, e.g. program types or traffic information.
  • Receive text information on a current radio program.
Note
  • Some radio stations do not use RDS or only select parts of its functionality.
  • When broadcasting news or traffic messages, the radio can switch stations, interrupting the audio source currently in use. The radio returns to the previous audio source and volume when the set programme type is no longer broadcast.

Setting radio favorites

It is possible to add a radio channel to the list of radio favourites that are shown as a separate tab in the radio app.
