27.11 ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES
The list(s) of Alternative Frequencies (AF) give information on the various transmitters broadcasting the same
programme in the same or adjacent reception areas.This facility is particularly useful in the case of car and portable
radios.
NOTE: Overall 500 alternative frequencies max can be entered for each DataSet.
The alternative frequencies (AF) list can be transmitted following two methods:
A Method and B Method
In both cases, lists should only contain frequencies related to the closest transmitters (i.e. frequencies with overlapping
between coverage areas).
NOTE: receivers are able to get which Method (A or B) is used from their data organization (coupled frequencies
or single frequencies). There is any direct ‘identifier’ for that.
The Barracuda offers to the user the max freedom in using Method A or Method B in the list composition and,
in particular, whether freq pairs are listed in descending or ascending order within the B Method.
Receiver’s behaviour could differ from one model to the other. The examples shown in these pages are for
information purpose only and to present Barracuda potentialities in the AF programming.
Refer to Cenelec normative for a complete treatment on AF programming.
