Abstract
A system is provided to prevent the generation of radio waves of local oscillation from an FM multiplex receiver 11 within a frequency band which adversely affects an FM radio 12 without providing an isolation buffer. The FM multiplex receiver 11 and the FM radio 12 are connected via a main controller 13. The main controller 13 discriminates whether or not the FM radio 12 is on. In the case that the FM radio 12 is on, the main controller 13 controls the tuning of the FM multiplex receiver 11 lest the tuning frequency of the FM multiplex receiver 11 should be set to a specified prohibited frequency.
Claims6
An information receiving method comprising the steps of:
- providing first and second information receivers for simultaneously receiving radio waves and having tuning frequencies, the first information receiver being an FM multiplex receiver capable of receiving a first information radio wave, the first information radio wave being an FM multiplex broadcast radio wave including traffic information, the second information receiver being a radio for receiving a second information radio wave, the second information radio wave being an FM broadcast radio wave,
- discriminating whether the first and second information receivers are simultaneously on,
- establishing a prohibited tuning frequency which is capable of adversely affecting the reception of the second information receiver by local oscillation generated during the reception by the first information receiver,
- discriminating whether the tuning frequency of the first information receiver is equal to said prohibited frequency, and
- changing the tuning frequency of the first information receiver in the case that the first and second information receivers are simultaneously on and the tuning frequency of the first information receiver is equal to the prohibited frequency.
