1. A method of supplying a control signal for controlling a radio receiver after a change in location, comprising the steps of:

  • evaluating a check-back transmit frequency for determining whether the check-back transmit frequency is of a reception quality;

    storing the check-back transmit frequency in the radio receiver if it is determined that the check-back transmit frequency is of the reception quality;

    comparing the reception quality of the stored check-back transmit frequency with a reception quality of a set non-check-back transmit frequency;

    replacing the stored check-back transmit frequency with the non-check-back transmit frequency if the reception quality of the non-check-back transmit frequency is greater by a first predetermined value than the reception quality of the stored check-back transmit frequency;

    incrementing a count by a second predetermined value at a predetermined interval;

    reducing the count by a predetermined factor when the stored check-back transmit frequency is replaced by the non-check-back transmit frequency; and

    supplying the control signal as a function of the count.
