Method for selecting a broadcasting station in a RDS-receiver.

摘要

In an RDS receiver being capable of receiving an RDS broadcast wave on which RDS data, such as a plurality of alternative frequency data and programme identification data of the same network group, are frequency-multiplexed, a method for selecting a broadcasting station is used when the receiving condition has deteriorated in the midst of receiving a radio broadcast wave: the RDS receiver automatically starts to tune to an alternative broadcasting station within the same broadcasting network group in order to receive the same programme, preferably a broadcasting station located comparativily close to the receiver is selected. Since, in accordance with this invention, the tuning is performed by reading back the alternative frequency data from the latest in the stored list of alternative frequencies, thus selecting a new network station within a short period of time.
