Figure 52. Station List

RBDS/RDS

Some radio stations broadcast data which can be used to display station identification, program information and support other features in the radio (depending on the region).
Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS) is primarily used in North America. Stations broadcasting RBDS typically provide information such as radio station name, artist and song title to the radio.

Radio Data System (RDS) is primarily used in Europe. Stations broadcasting RDS data may also include time updates, weather, traffic and other regional information. Not all radio stations transmit RBDS or RDS data. When RBDS or RDS is unchecked, or if the service is not available, only the radio frequency is displayed.

Enable RDS/RBDS

1. Navigate: Home > Audio.
2. Select: Menu icon.
3. Select: RDS or RBDS checkbox.

RDS Features: For dual tuner radios with RDS capability, three separate RDS features can be enabled.

• Alternate Frequency Switching (AF): The radio monitors signal strength of other stations playing the same program. The radio automatically switches to another station if signal quality is better.
  Regionalization (REG): Some radio stations split their program into separate regional programs on different frequencies. Regionalization automatically uses frequencies of regional related stations for alternate frequency jumps.
• Traffic Program/Traffic Announcement (TP/TA): The radio monitors stations for traffic announcements. When a traffic announcement is discovered, the radio automatically tunes to station playing the announcement. Traffic Announcement icon (TA) is displayed in the status bar. When finished, tuner returns to its previous operation. The status bar displays Traffic Program (TP) icon when tuned to a station that regularly plays traffic announcements. When enabled, the radio also monitors stations for Enhanced Other Networks (EON) transmissions.

Weather Band

See Table 32. Weather band is supported on radios for North America. Equipped radios can tune to any of seven weather band frequencies. The five weather band presets are originally set to the first five weather band frequencies.
Generally only one weather band station services an area. Using the seek function would take user to the only available station.
In the US, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates National Weather Radio (NWR) stations across the country. These stations continually broadcast weather announcements using seven different frequencies designated for weather band.

In Canada, Weather adio Canada broadcasts weather information.

NOTE
RBDS/RDS must be enabled for WB channel to show.

• Listen to weather band:
• Navigate: Home > Audio.
• Select: Source field.
• Select: WB.
• Use Cursor/Select switch to advance through the seven weather band frequencies or select a preset. See Table 32.

Table 32. Weather Band Channels

WB2	162.425 MHz
WB3	162.450 MHz
WB4	162.475 MHz
WB5	162.500 MHz
WB6	162.525 MHz
WB7	162.550 MHz

Weather Alert

Weather band alert feature is only available on radios built for North America with a CB module.
When weather alert feature is turned on, CB module continuously scans the weather band for an alert tone from weather band stations. The rider can continue to play media, listen to other stations or use other features on the radio. When an alert tone is detected, the radio changes to weather band and tunes to the channel with alert announcement. The alerts indicate extreme weather conditions such as tornados, storms, floods or other environmental warnings. See www.weather.gov for weather band and alert broadcast information.
Turn weather alert ON: See Figure 53. On weather band screen, press the weather alert on/off icon (2).
