Control section for an RDS-TMC radio receiver
First Claim
1. A control section for a mobile radio receiver which receives and decodes information transmitted in coded form in the Radio Data System (RDS) in its Traffic Message Channel (TMC), wherein the control section comprises an information key which, when actuated for the duration of a first time interval, causes received, decoded and previously stored information to be reproduced, and which, when actuated for the duration of a second time interval, searches for other RDS-TMC stations than the currently received ROS-TMC station.
