  • the reception conditions specified or selected by the listener are transmitted via the interface to the microprocessor, ie signals are transmitted to the microprocessor regarding the switching on, off and switching over of the radio receiver or the switching off of the radio receiver, for example for listening to Sound carriers, for example CDs, cassettes, etc.
  • a connection via an optocoupler is advantageously carried out in order to avoid mutual interference between the microprocessor and the radio receiver.
  • the RDS decoder uses a processor to filter out the PI code from the MPX signal, which is a unique station identifier of the corresponding transmitter.
  • the time measuring device assigned to the RDS decoder determines the time of the operational changes of the radio receiver, which are specified by the user.
  • the time measuring device can be assigned to this CPU or the microprocessor, which evaluates and / or stores all the information that is accumulating or arriving, as well as the respective time.

Such errors can e.g. Hardware problems or problems caused by poor reception of the desired programs.
