Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0415132A2] In the radio data system, transmitting stations having the same programme identify themselves by transmitting the same PI code. If the programme is regionalised at particular times of the day within one programme chain, the PI code should be switched over. However, there are transmitting stations which always radiate a regionalised PI code, even when they are transmitting a joint general programme at times via the individual transmitting stations. To avoid an additional operating control at the RDS receiver which can lead to operating errors, a mobile RDS receiving set is presented in which, when a regional programme chain is lost, the alternative frequencies stored from earlier receiving routines are examined to see whether another regional programme of the same transmitting station can be received which is then tuned in by preference and is accepted as part of a new programme chain. <IMAGE>
