A question, though... when I select Info, I get 2 options - TP (What is this?!) and RTS (doesn't seem to give any other menu for selection as stated in the manual). When I select either one of them, the radio toggles to the Weather Band and back to the radio - that's it! Is this the normal operation for this? (I somehow doubt it!) How is this supposed to function?
Good for you! My understanding of RTS is, it will show Artist & song on some FM stations (the ones that transmit the info - not all or even most do, though). A couple of the ones I listen in my area do.

Smile tp and rds
The tp (traffic program) system in England switches the radio to any local station giving traffic reports whatever you are listening to cd, tape or another radio channel then it reverts back afterwards, the rds system (radio data system) posts in the display the radio stations identity and other info, it is also able to switch the radio to the strongest fm signal of a given station automatically. But you all know this anyway sorry to be a bore!

Thumbs up Is there any selection choice beyond the RDS that I'm not seeing?
Thanks for the info!

When I select RDS, It just goes to the weather band. Wonder if the RDS protocol is different in Europe...

It all makes sense now as with the downgrade/upgrade process I kicked into Euro mode from the US mode - looks like a trip to the dealer to get recoded for me...
