Abstract (en)

A method (200) of switching frequencies in a radio-signal receiver (100) tuned to a selected frequency comprises the steps of switching (220) the receiver to an alternative frequency in order to perform (225) management operations and then re-setting (230) the selected frequency, these steps being performed after the detection (205) of a pause in which the radio-signal level is below a threshold value for a certain period of time. <IMAGE>
