When switched to USA or Canada the PTY will be changed to RBDS and also a call-sign will be shown under the PI code. When USA DB is selected a database will be used to determ the callsign and state. ### Show underscore in RDS +_On/Off/PS Only_ This will replace with underscores in PS and RT texts. ### RDS filter +_Off/On_ This will enable or disable the RDS buffer filter in the TEF chip. Disable this to have a quicker RDS decoding, but this can cause some errors direct after tuning. ### Show PI errors +_Off/On_ When enabled the PI code will also be shown, even when there are errors in the RDS data. Can be useful on weak FM signals. If the PI code decoding has errors, a question mark is shown next to the PI code. ### Use AF -Useful when you are on the road. When a certain threshold is reached, the radio will quickly scan for another transmitter with the same program, but with a better signal. +_Off/On/Reg_ +Useful when you are on the road. When a certain threshold is reached, the radio will quickly scan for another transmitter with the same program, but with a better signal. The Reg option can be used for radiostations using AF-B method (regional). ### RT buffering +_Off/On_ This will buffer the Radiotext and show it when the A/B flag changes. It will give you a more smooth display of Radiotext. ### Auto sort AF +_Off/On_ Enable this to automatically sort the AF list from lowest to highest frequency. ### Fast PS -This will show the PS direct after tuning, even when all bytes are not received. This can cause missing characters direct after tuning, but gives you a faster PS. +_Off/Initial/Always_ +Possibility to show PS, even when not all characters are received. This can cause missing characters direct after tuning, but gives you a faster PS. + +### Show long PS +_Off/On_ +When switched on, if a radiostation uses advanced RDS with Long PS support, this will be shown. # FM Settings ### Set converter offset +_0/200-2400MHz_ Only useful when you have an external RF converter connected to the antenna input. Local oscillator value can be set between 200 and 2400MHz. For normal FM radio reception, leave it at 0MHz. ### Set low band edge +_65-107.9MHz_ Set the low edge for the FM band ### Set high band edge +_66-108MHz_ Set the high edge for the FM band ### Set level offset +_-25 - +15 dB_ Here you can set the RF level offset. You can use this to compensate cable losses or antenna amplifier gain, so the signal meter gives you the right value ### Set low level threshold +_-15 - 30 dBµV_ When the value is triggered, RDS will be disabled and data to the display slows down. Can be useful to prevent low signal stations disturbed by interference from the display. ### Softmute FM +_Off/On_ When you switch this ON, the audio volume is reduced when static is received ### FM Noise blanker +_Off/50-150%_ Can (in some cases) be helpful to reduce interference from noise sources. ### FM default stepsize +_50/100/200 kHz_ Set the default step size to 50 kHz, 100 kHz or 200 kHz. -### Select FM band -Set the FM bands which should be available when toggling the bands with the band button +### FMSI stereo improvement +_Off/On_ +Only available on TEF6687/6689 models.
