This option is to reduce battery live when you leave the radio on unattended. The timer will be reset after every button press. + +# RDS Settings +### Show RDS errors +Set the threshold for RDS error processing. The higher value, the higher change RDS parsing contains errors. Can be usefull on disturbed FM signals + +### Region +Set the RDS region. When switched to USA the PTY will be changed to RBDS and also a callsign will be shown under the PI code. + +### Show underscore in RDS +This will replace with underscores in PS and RT texts. + +### RDS filter +This will enable or disable the RDS buffer filter in the TEF chip. Disable this to have a quicker RDS decoding, but this can cause some errors direct after tuning. + +### Show PI errors +When enabled the PI code will also be shown, even when there are errors in the RDS data. Can be usefull on weak FM signals. If the PI code decoding has errors, a questionmark is shown next to the PI code. + +### Use AF +Usefull when you are on the road. When a certain threshold is reached, the radio will quickly scan for another transmitter with the same program, but with a better signal. + +### RT buffering +This will buffer the radiotext and show it when the A/B flag changes. It will give you a more smooth display of radiotext. + +### Auto sort AF +Enable this to automaticly sort the AF list from lowest to highest frequency. + +### Fast PS +This will show the PS direct after tuning, even when all bytes are not received. This can cause missing characters direct after tuning, but gives you a faster PS. + +# FM Settings +### Set converter offset +Only usefull when you have an external RF converter connected to the antenna input. Local oscillator value can be set between 200 and 2400MHz. For normal FM radio reception, leave it at 0MHz. + +### Set low band edge +Set the low edge for the FM band + +### Set high band edge +Set the high edge for the FM band + +### Set level offset +Here you can set the RF level offset. You can use this to compensate cable losses or antenna amplifier gain, so the signalmeter gives you the right value + +### Set low level threshold +When the value is triggered, RDS will be disabled and data to the display slows down. Can be usefull to prevent low signal stations disturbed by interference from the display. + +### Softmute FM +When you switch this ON, the audio volume is reduced when static is received + +### FM Noise blanker +Can, in some cases, be helpfull to reduce interference from noise sources. + +### FM default stepsize +Set the default stepsize to 50kHz, 100kHz or 200kHz. + +### Select FM band +Set the FM bands which should be available when toggling the bands with the band button + +### FM deemphasis +Select the right deemphasis, set to 75 uS when you are receiving signals in South and North America. + +# AM Settings +### Softmute AM +Reduces audio volume when receiving static + +### AM Noise blanker +Can, in some cases, be helpfull to reduce interference from noise sources. + +### AM RF Level offset
