Regional Mode
Regional mode controls the behaviour ofalternative frequencies switching betweenregionally related networks of a parentbroadcaster. A broadcaster may run a fairlylarge network across a large part of thecountry. At various times of the day thislarge network may be broken down into anumber of smaller regional networks,typically centred on major towns or cities.When the network is not split into regionalvariants, the whole network caries thesame programming.
Regional mode ON: This prevents randomalternative frequency switches whenneighbouring regional networks are notcarrying the same programming.
Regional mode OFF: This allows a largercoverage area if neighbouring regionalnetworks are carrying the sameprogramming, but can cause randomalternative frequency switches if they arenot.
