Sometimes the radio cuts out for a couple of seconds then continues playing. I don't know if it is retuning to a better signal. It seems to happen at the sames points on my regular journey.

Is there a setting I need to switch off?

Thanks

Turn off the auto-retune option (sometimes called AF). You'll find it's RDS trying to retune if the signal goes a bit weak.

Thanks, didn't know what AF does.

This happens to me and it makes me a bit paranoid because it seems to fade out only when there is a punch line of some sort that I want to hear - like the answer on a quiz show or the end of a joke or the crucial bit of info about a road I may or may not be travelling on (e.g. the M*fade* motorway is blocked between junnctions *fade* and *fade*) or the name of a person featured in a news report (e.g. 'the famous and loved actor *fade* has just died!).

I'm not convinced it is the RDS or AF as I've tried fiddling with it to no abvail - still seems to fade out randonmly and far too often to be merely RDS retuning.
