HOW to Band Scanner Pro - All you need to know

Band Scanner Pro How to: What does (same) and (reg.) mean in the RDS AF List?

This is a citation from US RBDS Standard/EN 50067 standard:

Method B AF coding is used where it is required to indicate frequencies that belong to different regions, which may carry different programs.

For the transmission of the frequency pairs within one block the following convention is used:

  • They are generally transmitted in ascending order, e.g. 89.3 - 99.5 or 99.5 - 101.8 F1 < F2
  • In special cases they are transmitted in descending order, if they belong to different regions, or carry from time to time different programs, e.g. 99.5 - 90.6 or 100.7 - 99.5 F1 > F2

In both of the above examples 99.5 MHz is the tuning frequency.
