Alternative Frequencies (AF)
The AF feature constantly
monitors all transmitters which
are transmitting the radio station
you are listening to and
automatically selects the
strongest signal.
As your vehicle moves away
from one transmitter and nearer
to another, AF will switch
transmitters to maintain the best
reception possible.
